Good luck post some pictures,  I am looking forward to next year my Grandson turns 10 and for xmas this year I got him a Beneli Nova youth 20ga.  I am really looking forward to see his face Xmas morning when he opens that Beneli box.

What a great day! We got to the boat launch about 2 hours early, got out to the blind by 5 AM. We set up and waited for the opening bell....
Weather was clear and cold, almost nothing moving. I was hoping beyond hope that we would get lucky and my boy would get the chance to take a crack at at least one duck, any kind would do....We were getting pretty bored and then out of nowhere this beautiful Pintail Drake floated into the pocket as pretty as you please. I could not believe my eyes! I was telling the boy SHOOT IT! SHOOT NOW!! He couldn't see the duck! Finally he looked down at the water and realized the duck was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM! He was looking UP! Finally he shoots and the duck keeled over right there....1 shot 1 kill! He was so excited I thought he was going to explode! I was relieved the duck cooperated ( committed suicide )
We jumped in the boat and went to get it.  We hung out the rest of the morning and all we saw was a couple of mallards that flew by, I whacked the hen, OOPS! Still a great day all in all.

I am one proud momma!

We were sitting in the truck about to drive home, he looks over at me and says, " Dad....when I have kids,  I am going to take them duck hunting just like you"



Mission accomplished!

I dunno what's more cool - the actual pictures of your boy, or the fact that there are so many pictures which show how proud a parent you are. Very cool.

Good luck.  Did you just pick the shotgun up from Wholesale Sports?  Black synthetic youth 870 .20 gauge?

That is the gun, but was not where we got it. Kesselrings
