My 10 year old son shot his first Turkey last Friday in Hunters WA. I'm trying to post pictures but nothing seems to happen when I hit the post button... I'll keep trying to throw on his brag picture. Not sure who was more excited him or me....

Way to go! My hunting partner and I are trying to get our sons out but neither have much mileage with shooting a shotgun. What gauge did you use for him, maybe 20?

Thanks for sharing, I can only imagine what a thrill that was for the two of you.

Mossburg 500 Youth 20. Worked like a charm. That Tom didn't stand a chance and he nailed him at about 12 yards.

Outstanding!

I hope it was followed up with a big dish of icecream!

Thanks Amh140 I'll see if I can find one locally. Like what was said before I'll bet he's hooked for life now. Good luck with the rest of the season

hobbes · « **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:55:35 AM »

Thats awesome.

I've got a couple buddies that started their kids with the same Mossberg. My kids have started with a 20 ga. Remington 870 Jr. which has a one inch shorter lenght of pull than the youth model and an 18" barrel, so its very manageable for beginners.

Congrats again!
