First Squirrel

[PUDDLE]

My son killed his first tree rat this morning!
He sure was smiling.
We slept in and didn't get out until daylight. I let him shoot the old x-bow a few times then to the woods we went. Ten minutes later he was looking down the sights at a big fat doe. She didn't offer a shot so about an hour later, back to the truck for the .410. One hour after that we are on the way out with 3 greys. Momma can't wait 'till supper. :rolleyes:

I can still remember the thrill of my first successful squirrel hunt. Model 94 savage/stevens 410ga was bad ju-ju on those limb rats. I know the squirrels were just the half of it. Those memories will never be forgotten. God Bless.

Puddle,
congrats to your son on that first squirrel. I think you teach a kid to squirrel hunt first and they will be hooked on all hunting for life. graemlins/thumb.gif

i killed my first 2 years ago with a 22

He got to chew on some old gray tonite. I'd say he is hooked. Now it is to get him to clean them. graemlins/smack.gif

Yer gonna hafta learn it someday Ty - might as well start now. Do ya gut yer own deer or Remington do it for ya? What's the difference in guts - large pile or small pile!

Puddle, Tell your son congratulations. Never forget my first even though it was... 35 years ago. Took me a minute, had to take my shoes off to count. Never forget the man that took me either.

[Remington]

[reflex1]

Rem - you gonna hafta tuffen dat boy up somehow. Next one ya gut drape then entire pile all over him :D He will either learn ta gut his own or quit altogether (hope not)!
