Just wanted to share with my fellow turkey hunters some news which I am beeming with pride.....My 10 year old son passed his 16 hour hunter education course and can legally hunt next spring with me, his dad. I am so proud of him and am looking forward to experiencing our first hunting season together next April.

Woo! Break out the root beer and Little Debbies!

I' m 22, but that stuff is still the best.

Have a great time in the woods with him... what' s he going to be shooting?

Congrats to both of you.I know exactly how you feel.This fall will be my sons first hunt also

I made an offer to him that if he passed he' ll be the proud owner of a youth model 20 gauge shotgun this Christmas. I' m leaning towards the Remington 870 youth model, but have not ruled out the Mossberg Bantam 20 gauge youth or the Benelli 20 gauge Nova (which I' m not sure is offered in a youth model). Any suggestions/recommendations?

Thanks for sharing a proud moment for a hunting dad!

Congrats to both of you!I' d be proud too having already experienced it myself!Wait till he harvests his first bird!!!Kits you just cant go wrong with an 870!!Sturdy,dependable,gun!!!

Thats great ! Congrats for your son and you , that will be something to enjoy ,, your first hunt togeather...BT

The best times I have spent in the turkey woods were spent with my sons. Congrats to the new turkey hunter and Dad[8D]

Tell him we said good job [:-]

Way to go Man I' m jealous, I have to wait about 7 more years til my Daughter is old enough to try it You' ll have a blast, my Dad is still my main hunting partner. I couldn' t imagine not doing it without him. I' m taking a trip to Montana in Sept and he couldn' t go, and I keep thinking about that if I am successful, he won' t be there to experience it with me

Thanks everyone for all of your comments...It just goes to show the caliber of people who are in the hunting community...the best.
