Title: Final Youth Opener
Post by: BD1 on September 23, 2024, 11:32:29 AM: Had an awesome youth opener with my son on Saturday. Sadly it is his last one before turning 16 :'( It was our first official hunt in our new boat. It was so great as he recorded a limit in about an hour. Five teal and two mallards. We both decided to stay out for another hour or so and just watch the birds work. So proud of the man he is becoming. I count myself as truly blessed to be able to call him my son and my best friend. I love you Buddy :tup:

Nice! It’s always nice to see other people who just enjoy their kids company.
