The boy got 5 of them. He unloaded 40 shells to get them, but he was pretty proud of himself. I sure as heck didn't get 5 my first time out.

That's probably a better percentage than I could get with a shotgun today. 
Good for you for giving a youngster a chance to hunt and make his own choice of whether he likes it or not.

Bet your wife was sure happy you brought some home for her to clean and cook.

My dad loves to hunt birds and shoot shotguns. He created a monster this summer when he got Henry that vest and got him shooting blue rocks. The good news is that he doesn't bug me to go fishing all the time now. The bad is that I'm going to have to quit funding my retirement to keep him in shells!
I showed him how to clean them and he dug right in. Momma cooked them up this noon and he put a little hot sauce on them and gobbled them up.

Sandy, My son is wild about shooting blue rocks... Is there a club around Valentine where we could get him involved?? I'm really not a gun person..So this maybe a dad and son deal...

How about a reloading kit? Our son does a lot of reloading. Shotgun and rifle, his own and for others.
Not sure if it's cheaper, but at least he isn't shooting while he's at the reloading bench!! :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Katrina, I don't think Valentine does - we do and we've had Valentine kids coming here to shoot with our kids.
burnt, we've got a couple of reloaders and we're getting him started.
