Title: NY youth season success
Post by: troutfisher13111 on April 26, 2014, 10:38:20 AM
Success!This is my 12 year olds first kill

(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q52/terry13111/IMG_20140426_063919_zpse0c04ff4.jpg)

We had a great morning! The birds flew down about 5:55 and he shot right around 6:30. Its a pretty young Jake with about a 1" beard. He was with 3 others. They were all gobbling and strutting out in a field. It was a perfect first hunt. The birds put on a great show and gave us a little bit of a fight, exactly what I wanted to happen.

At one time his leg was shaking so bad I had to put my hand on it to keep his gun from bouncing all over the place. He did great though and I was happy to be able to coach him through it. Definitely a great hunting moment. I couldn't have been more excited. We'll both be glowing for days.

Good job! I usually shake worse than my kids do when there is a bird in front of them. Congrats.

Congrats to you both.  That 870 looks familiar.  I got mine when I was 12.  It is still the one I use.

I got that one when I was 12 too. It's now 21 years old. My grandparents bought it for me. I was big into wanting to be a hunter, but my parents didn't have a lot of money. My grandfather came over with a long green box and showed me his new Rem 870 20 gauge. As I was checking it out with pure envy, he told me it was mine. I will NEVER forget that moment. I have killed a ton of deer and small game with that thing. Now my son uses it. He will have his own soon.
