But only after taking six shots. Read the whole story about the episode from "Palin's Alaska" from this report in Politico.

The fourth installment of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” was all about hunting. Sarah, her dad Chuck Heath and their friend Becker headed north of the Arctic Circle for a two-day caribou-hunting trip.

"She carries her own weight, whether it's hunting or fishing or politics. Anything Sarah Palin does, she does with all four feet, let me tell you that,” said Sarah’s father before they headed north. Todd Palin, who had a moose-hunting trip planned for later in the month, stayed home with the Palin brood.

Living off the land and father-daughter bonding were the themes du jour up in the tundra, where Sarah introduced viewers to Sue Akins, described by the former governor as “the Alaskan woman … the mama grizzly.”

“I am the only resident here. My closest neighbors are about 120 miles to the northeast,” Sue said of the Kavik River Camp – and she made it clear that she wouldn’t have it any other way. “Some women want perfume and diamonds. Bloods, guts and bullets, that’s for me,” she said. Sue then told about the time she was almost eaten by a bear and had to sew her own head together. Apparently, she still has the teeth marks in her cranium to prove it. 

After that story, Sarah Palin wisely concluded: “When I spend the night in bear country, there are two things I always want with me: a loaded rifle and my dad.”

She had both on the trip, and when it came time to taking down some caribou, it proved fortuitous that she had her friend Becker, too. With a caribou in range, Sarah took about five shots with two of her father’s guns and missed.

“You shot high,” her father concluded before Sarah tried Becker’s gun. Sarah shot the caribou on her first attempt with the third gun, prompting an excited “There you go baby, there you go,” from Becker (who had already killed one caribou on the trip).

After Sarah posed with her kill for the camera, the Palins and Becker got out their knives and packed up the caribou to take home to Wasilla. But before they could head home, Sarah’s father tested his guns on a target to make sure they were really off. A few shots and missed targets later, he decided they were, and that Sarah was a good shot after all.

Still in his camouflage hunting gear, the 72-year-old said, “When Sarah shot the caribou, I thought ‘That’s my girl.’”
