I have some wonderful memories dove hunting with my pops and grandpa, and I’ve been looking forward to making similar memories with my son. He’s been hunting with me since he was 2, and I almost never hunt or fish without him, but I’ve been pretty cautious about putting a shotgun in his hands. This year, at 9 years old, he put a youth model 1100 20 gauge to work (one shell at a time) and managed to knock a few down. We have an area where the white wing pour in this time of year, so it made for pretty good training ground. He was quite proud of himself. I can’t wait to see what he can do this weekend when I turn him loose on the morning dove.

Fun times. My oldest son hit the first dove he ever shot at in flight. We told him he needed to stop dove hunting then he could say he never missed a dove. It's always a hoot introducing new shooters/hunters and seeing their smiles when they put it all together. Keep up the good work!

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Good job Dad. Looks like you have raised and training him right on safety. Turn him loose and when adds another shell he will learn some other life and hunting lessons.

The gun looks as it weighs more than he does.
