It was the most successful hunting trip ever for a Nebraska woman who bagged a marriage proposal shortly after killing a big buck.

Earlier this month, while on a hunting trip south of Lincoln, Samantha Camenzind’s boyfriend not only gave her the first shot at the deer they had spotted on a trail, but he surprised her by popping the question in the middle of a photo shoot with the prized trophy buck. 

The couple tells local media outlets that in their three years of dating, one of the things the couple bonded over is their shared love of hunting. 

They even process and eat the meat of what they hunt and kill.
