youth kids are ready. i never saw so many kids ready to go turkey hunting this spring.12 ga shotguns are longer than kids

i was 11 before dad let me shoot his 12 ga and boy did it kick me.no one believed me in school that i shot a 12 ga but i did. dont know if i could hit anything with it but i shot it.
now i see kids youth hunting at 8 years old and carrying a 12 ga and a lot get big gobblers too and a lot of girls.
boy how things have changed?
