TOOK MY 9 YR OLD ON HIS FIRST DOVE HUNT. HE USED HIS GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S CRACK BARREL .410. WHICH IS OVER 60 YEARS OLD. THE FIRST DOVE CAME RIGHT TO THE MOJO. I KEPT TELLING HIM SHOOT...SHOOT!!! WHEN HE FINALLY SHOT HE KNOCKED THE TAIL FEATHERS!! I TOLD HIM DON'T GET DISCOURAGED CAUSE WE ALL MISS. WELL HE WASN'T WORRIED AT ALL HE WAS ALREADY LOADING HIS GUN AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I ASSUMED HE WAS HOOKED! HIS FIRST KILL WENT ABOUT THE SAME WAY. THE DOVE CAME RIGHT IN AND WHEN I SAID SHOOT HE DID!! THE BIRD FELL DEAD!!! HIS SMILLE WAS SO BIG I THOUGHT HIS FACE WAS GOING TO CRACK!!! WE ENDED THE SHORT TRIP WITH 8 DOVES. HE EVEN HELPED ME CLEAN THEM. HE TOLD HIS MOM, "WELL I GOTTA LEARN HOW TO CLEAN THEM NOW THAT I CAN HUNT THEM". Ii THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL MY LIFE FOR THIS DAY...THIS MOMENT!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM ONE PROUD DADDY!!!
