I grew up deer and squirrel hunting and I have never duck hunted so this year will be a first for me as well.

I will need to buy my son a gun, I think he will be sensitive to anything that has intense recoil. I was leaning towards a youth model 20 gauge pump, what do you guys recommend and do you think he is too young to start hunting?

My 11 year old shoots a youth model REM. 870 pump 20ga. You should look at them. Also, get him shells that are fast, fast....lol
