Title: 5 year old daughter's first year duck hunting
Post by: Spuddieselwwu on December 08, 2020, 09:41:39 AM: Have had a blast taking my daughter (Payton - 5yo) out for her first "real" duck hunts this year. Keeping her warm/out of the weather, full of doughnuts and hot coco has made for a few real enjoyable hunts.

I put a few out around the spread that I don't care if they shoot and let them have it at. It passes time while waiting for birds and they think it's great fun.
