Looks like fun times. I have a 4 year old and we have a blast out at the blind. He’s excited to get on the tractor with me this summer to help with mowing out there.
On slow days he’s even taken a couple naps out there.

They broke the “don’t have too much fun” rule a few times for sure.

thats one meant to be broken!!! I love it. My son just graduated this year from the red ryder and now is shooting the youth 20 gauge with his license. The passion really takes a new turn when they can hunt. He's full blown obsessed now.

They absolutely love it. Burned through over 2,000 BBs in just a few hunts this year. Making memories for sure!

That’s getting after it. Nice.

I remember one day the ducks took a back seat. Trying to shoot off a little dead branch from a tree became more important. The adults had as much or maybe more fun than the kids.

Those little Red Ryder’s are such a great tool for teaching gun safety

What age to introduce the Red Ryder? There are a couple guys at the club I’d also like to reintroduce the Red Ryder.

I wish more guys shared images like these and less of dead birds on a tailgate. The happy faces on children, dogs and loved ones that tell the story of our journey not carcass's. Well done brother.

Nothing better than getting the kids out. Really great that he is getting after it at 4!

That is great. My little guy shot his first duck - that hen spoony on Saturday - but was excited to back w his Red Ryder on Sunday. So I thought that was really fun. He is still getting comfortable w his 28 gauge - he feels the kick so I’m letting him take it at his own pace.

I feel the same way - I didn’t get the Red Ryder as my dad got his right eye shot out playing cowboys and Indians at 7yo, so I went straight to the 20 gauge. Great to see my guy is getting super confident w it, but I’m working hard to make sure he still respects that it isn’t a toy gun.

And to your point I’m having way more fun watching him shoot stuff than shooting anything myself. Best times for sure.
