Default Taking kids out hunting

Howdy! I was just wondering how many of you have taken a kid out hunting. It is one of the most satisfiying rewarding hunts you will ever be on, especially if it's successful. Im 20 years old and will be taking a kid out for the youth season this year. I took him and his dad out last year and called in a great gobbler for them. It came in strutting and everything. But he shot over it and then in the legs as it went over the crest of the hill. When his dad went over the hill it was just sitting there so he yelled at Nick to get his gun and after 3 missed shots it flew in a big loop and landed about 3 feet from the blind. This allowed Nick to sneak up and shoot it in the head with his LAST shell. It was one of the craziest memorable hunts I have ever participated in. If you havent taking a kid out hunting you should seriously consider it.

This is one thing that I am looking forward to doing with my daughter one day. She is only 5 months old right now, so I have quite a long wait, but I know it will be an expierence I will never forget. My wife tells me all the time how she remembers going out with her dad and all the good times she remembers.

There is nothing like taking a kid out into the outdoors. They have many questions and I love answering them. I teach a talking turkey class in a month. I have about 500 kids that hang on every word you say. But taking a kid out has got to be one of the most rewarding thing I have done in the outdoors. If you don't have a child, there is someone probably close by that would love to experience what we do. Hunt with your kids not for your kids.

It is rewarding, my oldest boy was 10 when he got his first, we almost doubled but we did not practice shooting at the same time, i let him shoot first then i tried to shoot mine on the fly and missed. Im just glad he got his, i got mine several days latter.
