6.5 Grendel. Thing kicks like a BB gun .

she's a doll and how exciting for her! I am old fashioned and not fond of the look of that rifle, give me Grampa's old wood stocks.

I’m much the same way but my son got the gun for her . She doesn’t look it in the picture but she’s pretty lightweight. The gun is light and well balanced and doesn’t kick at all .

Good for her! I know you are proud!

Me either looks wise but if you have never handled one they have a lot of benefits for the beginner. Collapsible stocks, great ergonomics, reduced recoil and a safety design that makes it easy for the supervising adult to flip on and off from the shooting position. They catch a lot of heat for various reasons but truly one of the best gun designs ever and an absolute blast to shoot in most any caliber. Bought a .22lr conversion kit for mine. Zero recoil, low noise and cheap for the kids to practice with.

Congratulations to the young lady!

Congratulations to the young lady. Nice photo. It clearly shows one of the reproductive malformations on white-tailed deer that we reported in our recent scientific paper. I wouldn't expect the little girl to know that the deer's scrotum is malformed, but I would think that all you men would. The left half of the scrotum is obviously directly in front of the right half, rather than the hemiscrota being bilateral, like they always were before the insecticide imidacloprid began being sprayed in 1994.

Ever think that it is the way the deer is laid there???

Starting them young. Here you have to be 12 years old before you can get a license. You are correct in getting those youngsters a rifle which fits and has a very low recoil.

That is so "perfect".

Oh I know, it's just that it would be such a beautiful, timeless portrait with an old style gun. I guess it could be photoshopped as long as we are being modern.

Well that's stretching it a bit, I think you better stick to your under/overshot jaws. Mine hang like that when I'm lying down.

I have necropsied hundreds of male deer with that birth defect. I know what is misplaced inside the deer to make the male deer be born this way. The legs on the deer in the photo are not squeezing the scrotum to make it look misaligned, it was born that way. I have seen hundreds of male deer and necropsied many that had a normal bilateral scrotum. Even if the deer was lying on one of its sides or on its back, the scrotum was still bilateral with the hemiscrota side by side. I am attaching a photo of an early fetus with the left hemiscrota directly forward of the right and a photo of a live adult deer standing up on its four feet. Its left hemiscrota is forward of the right hemiscrota and it was born that way. Because the hemiscrota are also somewhat tipped backward, both hemiscrota are easily seen.

As long as the buck is not sterile...who cares?

Well, since children began being born with malformed reproductive organs at the same time as the other mammals, I would think everyone would care. It is amazing how uncaring some people are, especially about the welfare of children. Missing limbs on newborns is another birth defect that began occurring much more often in 1995 and since. Haven't you ever seen the Shriners Hospital ads on TV, with all the children with missing limbs or in wheel chairs because of spina bifida? By the way, I didn't say that buck is not sterile because it should be, since the scrotum is long enough so the testicles are well away from the body wall. According to studies, it can likely pass that misaligned scrotum birth defect on to three or more generations.

You are correct Ken! I laid down in the same position and my scrotum was out of wack. Dentist said I needed teeth pulled because of my overshot jaw.

Judas Priest. Your right though "hemi has a scrota".

Cute little girl gets her first deer, has a big smile and is very happy. As she should be. Why not focus on that instead of an analysis of the scrotal structure? I just saw the picture for what it was intended.

There is a reason to hit the ignore button on some people.
