THE MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE, WAS WATCHING MY LITTLE GIRL KILL HER FIRST TURKEY .I GOT HER A NEW 870 REM 20 GAUGE . SHE CAN OUT SHOOT ME WITH THAT THING. I TOOK HER THE NIGHT BEFOR OPENING DAY TO ROOST A BIRD. I CROW CALLED ONE TIME AND ONE SOUNDED OFF. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER EYES. I COULDNT HELP IT I HAD TO CALL JUST ONE MORE TIME.WHEN THAT OLD BIRD GOBBLED SHE SMILED AND SAID WE GOT HIM DADDY. SHE COULDNT SLEEP HARDLY AT ALL THAT NIGHT. SHE WOKE ME UP AND SAID COME ON DADDY LETS GO BEFORE HE FLYS DOWN. THIS WAS ABOUT 4:30 HA HA .WE GOT TO THE HILL SIDE WE HAD ROOSTED THE BIRD ON. IT WAS STILL ABOUT 1 HOUR BEFORE DAY LIGHT. SHE NEVER CLOSED HER EYES AT ALL. THE SUN STARTED COMING UP AND THAT OLE BIRD WENT CRAZY. IF YOU COULD ONLY SEEN HER EYES. I CALLED SOFTLEY TO HIM JUST 2 OR 3 TIMES, MAN HE FLEW RIGHT AT US .HE LANDED ABOUT 40 YARDS AWAY. I CALLED ONE MORE TIME AND HE WENT IN TO FULL STRUT. HE MADE ABOUT 5 STEEPS TOWARD US AND BOOOM!!!!!!!! SHE JUST ABOUT SCARED ME TO DEATH. THAT OLD BIRD DIDNT GO NO WHERE. SHE HANDED ME HER GUN AND TOOK OFF . SHE STOOD ON HIS HEAD LIKE HE WAS GOING TO GET BACK UP. SHE LET OUT A YELL " YES" . THERE WAS A NOTHER BIRD GOBBLED, SHE SAID COME ON DADDY LETS GO. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO HOLD HER BACK. HA HA THE BIRD WAS 23LBS ,A 10IN AND A 9IN BEARD,AND HAD 1 AND 1/2IN HOOKS.... TAKE A KID HUNTING AND PASS THE TRADATION DOWN
My son took his first duck last year at age 7. Shot it at 20 yards with a .410....
The duck came in and landed. Alex stood up and when he did the bird came off the water and he hit it on the rise. I couldn' t believe it.... Great shot, better than most of the men I hunt with!!!!
Couldn' t have been prouder and happier for him. We went straight home and cooked it up. It was the best duck I' ve ever tasted.
TAKE A KID HUNTING
