OT: Lil' Guy Got One
I took my oldest boy Brandon dove hunting today. He'll be four years old next month. This was his first dove hunt. We have been practicing in the house. I throw a stuffed duck and he shoots it with his shotgun that fires a soft foam dart. Today he used a 1939 Champion top lever .410 bore. On the second dove, a very close range incomer, he raised the gun and pulverized it. The dog made a short retrieve. He fired 4 more at passing birds but this was the bag today.

Cool. Part of being a grown man is the ability to put food on the table, and he's off to a good start...

Re: OT: Lil' Guy Got One
i don't know who is the luckiest, you, Brandon, or the dog.
Off hand, I'd say all of you are both lucky and greatly blessed!
I envy you having a son with whom you can share the joys of hunting.

Re: OT: Lil' Guy Got One
Wow! I think Brandon needs to teach me how to hunt and fish. He has some talent. He's a lucky kid having a dad who takes the time to expose him to some great stuff. These are the memories that he is going to carry with him for life. Your a good dad Joe. Great job Brandon! Dad is going to have to build a trophy room for all of your trophies! Keep it up!

Re: OT: Lil' Guy Got One
Great pic!!! I hunt with many adults that have been shooting at doves for years that will fire more than 6 12ga or 20ga per dove killed. Great shooting! second shot, four years old and let alone, a .410!!!
Break on through to the other side!!!
Re: OT: Lil' Guy Got One
I don't think I could hit a dove with a 410.

Re: OT: Lil' Guy Got One
I'm jealous of you, of Brandon (what memories!) and even the dog! I can see that EVERYONE had a good time. Now, did YOU smile?

Re: OT: Lil' Guy Got One
Way to go Brandon!! That is one of the best things I have seen fora while! Good on you for helping him get started so early.
With a .45cal entrance wound I don't worry too much about bullet expansion.
Re: OT: Lil' Guy Got One
Why did you wait so long to start him hunting?? You have already wasted some years he can't get back!!
Oh well, as long as he is hunting now.
That is great. The picture will be a keeper and I bet shows up now and again later in his life
