thats great! tell him congrats. i also took a youth out but our weather was bad, not the rain, but cold, wind and fog. we could see 20yrds and it was so windy we couldnt hear a thing. i thought the wind would blow the fog away but that didnt happen. didnt hear a thing, but the boy i took was good he didnt complain at all. i told him this isent how it always is and to not give up. too bad we had to have that weather for his first turkey hunt.
