He is hooked now. Here are some pics of his 2nd hunt on Thanksgiving day. It's amazing how leathal that BB gun is on these ducks.

Start them young. This is our future. My first hunt was along the shores of Lake Erie at age 4. I treasure those early morning memories with my dad. Now more than 40 years later with him in his mid eighties he no longer carries a shotgun. We did hunt together though last week. Three generations in one boat for the first time as my 5 year old joined us. Lots to be thankful for.

This is a WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE for me and I AM LOVING IT! My 5 year old boy has came with me on my last three hunts and he is begging for more. I can't wait till my 2 year is old enough to come too!

You got to get creative with the little ones. He was getting cold today until I convinced him to get under the front deck. Then he thought thas was cool and it was like camping out. Here is a pic of him taking a breakfast break under the front deck.

That looks like too much fun!

When I got home today my little one got into my blind bag and discovered my call lanyard and thought it was a bead, until I showed her how to blow the calls and I was some proud cause it looks like she is a natural.......but after 4 hours of walking around blowing the calls, mom wasnt thinking the same thing.

Coot, you are going to create so many memories with your kids in the field. I cannot believe my two boys are already 16 and 19.

Take lots of pics and encourage them to keep a hunting journal. My older son has about 25 typed pages of family hunting trips beginning when he was eleven.

I personally keep a hunting journal and insert the digital images into this journal and then print it on a color printer at the end of each year and bind it. It makes a nice keeps sake. I will encourage my children to keep a journal too once they can start writing and reading.
