I talked my buddy that used to pitch for the Rangers and his son into going. Didn't take much more than an offer to get him excited. Hope y'all have found some folk to turn onto wingshooting.

I am taking my boys with me. They have been bird hunting with me many times before. This time I borrowed a old single shot 20 guage for them to share this weekend. I am hoping they get to shoot their first birds this year. They 10 and 12 years old. My twelve year old is almost as exited as me. If they like shooting I am gonna have to see about getting a single 20 ga for them. I cant wait till to see their face when they shoot their first kill of anything.

took my niece squirrel hunting 2 yrs ago she was 11 and I heard how she bragged for 2 weeks that she was going hunting with Uncle Trey. The whining started when she had to get up early. Get to my deer lease after deer seasons over of course to show her how to hold and aim gun(20 ga youth model) and it took her a while to warm up to that. Long story short trip cut short cuz no mall in the area and we didn't see squirrels mainly because she never quit talking and whining

I offered some newbies a trip and haven't heard back from them yet. "They said will work for hunt" I told them i had plenty for them to do. lol... They only had to work Saturday. The rest of the weekend was hunting and fishing.


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

I am taking my adopted nephew, he is 12, this will be his first dove hunt. His mother passed away last December and he has been living with us since then. He shot his first hog in January, been fishing a million times and is ready for his first dove hunt! Will be in Olney with Dan at Puddins.

I'm taking a kid that never held a shotgun until college. He shot skeet for UT and actually placed in the state collegiate championship his jr and sr years. Now he wants to dove hunt. I'm looking forward to being thoroughly embarrassed.
