Sounds like ya had a wonderful time with the boy. Makes me think of last year when my son (8) shot his first duck.

He went along on a hunt with me and after we were target practicing with his 410. Low and behold a loan mallard came in and landed about 15 yards in front of us.

Alex put the bead on him and about that time the duck came up and he hammered him.

We were so proud and happy you' d have thought we just won the lottery! We went home and cooked it right away.

Best duck I ever tasted!

Thanks for makeing me remember........
