Title: First Hunts
Post by: Hornseeker on October 24, 2011, 12:35:38 PM: Well, I had some big plans to put a camp in and hunt deer and elk all weekend (thurs-Sunday) with my daughter this year, but some health issues with several family members kept that from happening. Its all good. We will go elk and deer hunting the next two weekends and then towards the end of November also! (We are in Montana if I'm confusing you!)

Anyhow, I did get to take my girl and my little boy (the Springer) out for each of their's "first hunts"... We flushed 8 pheasants with zero shots. 5 were hens and the roosters were flushing too far out! Both Girl and Dog did Great though... couldn't be happier.

I took her trap shooting as well... the little 410 made it pretty challenging, but she busted a few and had a blast. I also let her shoot my 22 pistol, which she thoroughly enjoyed... as well as a couple 22 rifles and her 243. Good times!

On Sunday I let the lil sister tag along and she loves breaking clays with the 22.

My 8 year old boy got his first wingshot quail this morning behind our springer, I'm a proud dad! Good looking dog you have, let us know when they knock a few birds down!
