The Next Generation

[Slooshark1]

I took my boys, 5 and 7 out for a walk for rabbits and partridge yesterday. They were tired after about 200 yards of walking and wanted to head back. We were almost back at the truck when I spotted a ruffed grouse sitting underneath an evergreen tree. I broke his wing on my first shot, missed on my second shot and finished him with a head shot. The boys were excited and so was I. We came home and I cleaned him and cooked him in beer batter for lunch. It was a great day.

I remember my uncle dragging me out in the duck blind when I was 9. From there it was for small game and then eventually Deer. Awesome memories and a great mentor to show me the ropes. It's great to share your hobbies and skills with the kids. Nice Pic.

Good for you to bring a couple of new hunters into the sport.

Good stuff Slooshark1, I'm always glad to see the younger generation out learning hands on, especially with their dads ;-) My youngest is 4 1/2, so I figure I might start bringing him along next season. This year he's already getting good at cleaning the prepping.
