My husband and I took our 10 year old son hunt February 1st for youth day. That morning he was able to get his very first hen wood duck and first drake mallard. He has only shot teal before this.
Needless to say he was over the moon and was ready to drop his drake off at the taxidermist that afternoon. The smile and non stop talking about his hunts are what hunting is really about.
The memories of that day will be with him the rest of his life and he will share those times with his kids later on.
