Myriam made her first kill. We were walking back from the mailbox. I had taken the .44-40 with us in case we spotted a coyote or the mountain lion that’s been seen around here.

Well, we didn’t come across such big game, but Myriam did spot a field mouse. So, what the heck, let’s see what she can do with the rifle. Barely missed with the first shot but got him with the second. Not much left of him as you can see.

First time she nailed anything other than cans and paper. She was pretty cool and collected. Usually, a person gets nervous with a live target. We’ll see how she does with something bigger as the opportunity arises.
