Went south last weekend to hunt ducks and geese with my buddy, and took my son along for his first goose shoot - turns out the kid can call and shoot like he's been doing it for 20 years!
The shooting part did not surprise me, but the calling sure did!:eek:
he calls like a pro, I think a lot of has to do with the fact that he played sax and trombone in high school. I told him to play the calls like an instrument instead of blowing them like a duck call- a few quick lessons from Jason at Canadian Waterfowlers pro shop never hurt, either!:D
First day out - My son insists that 12 gauge pump guns belong in a blind, but I'm stickin' with my 20 guage O/U- notice the one teal that lost it's head? That one came in fast and crossed my blind at 10 feet as I popped up!:D

He's late getting in, he's 19 at the moment - been into shooting comps for years however.
So far, he's been on a pheasant hunt, a deer hunt and almost got a spike muley last Saturday evening g with his long bow!
Heres a pic of the pheasant hunt- he was using a set of 28 gauge tubes in his Gamba skeet gun - killed well with it , too!

Yup, that's what I say.
I wasn't sure if he would ever want to hunt , and was not going to push him in a direction he did not want to go - it's amazing the amount of influence a girlfriend who was raised on moose, deer , and elk can have on a guy!:D

That is what so got me into hunting too, my father never pushed it on me and grew up trapshooting since I was 8, only started hunting at 20. I met a farm girl raised on venison, ducks and geese. She didnt hunt but put the idea in my head that I should put my shooting to good use. And I wanted to find a way to bond with my father after a rough youth.

All in all... I wish I started hunting when I was 8!
My daughter will be going on her first hunts and scouting trips next fall just before she turns 3!
 
I'm 26 and have about 4 hunting hunting buddies around my age
we all just got into it about a year ago (except one he's been doing it for years)

Surprisingly high number of younger people taking up firearms and hunting
 
Thanks for posting the pics, always nice to see a successful hunt.

Is that a Brittany in the 3rd pick? How was it hunting with one?
