I managed to get out with "my boy." A year and a half year old boykin spaniel. It turned out to be a really slow day, with little shooting for his first trip. But still, the ducks were brought back to hand. Very proud of him.

I love seeing pictures of folks taking their young sons hunting.
Mine is 3, and I can't wait until he's ready!

I think that my brother and I started joining dad on dove hunts around 4 and 5, and eased into other hunts thereafter. Lots of great memories with friends and family are tied to hunting. I hope he's able to get out and join you soon. Stay safe!

I'm a hardcore duck hunter and had a great season. Awesome pics OP!

I started mine in the dove fields at 3. Our season opens at noon so every year we would all get together in the field we would be hunting and set up a pop up sun shade and bring out a deep fryer and grill and start grilling food and frying fish. Basically make it a party until shooting time. The kids could run around crazy and have fun. We'd bring BB guns for them to shoot. At noon the shooting would start and usually by 2pm we'd have the wives come by and pick up the kids that were too young to actually hunt. The kids had a blast! We have been doing an opening day Dove hunt like this for 10 years now. We usually had about 10 kids along. Now most of them are hunting with us and shooting thier own guns. Here is a pic of my son his first year actually shooting his own shotgun. He was 9 at the time. He is shooting a Rem 1100 youth 20ga
This is a pick of my daughter and her friend. My daughter is the tall one and her friend is getting ready to shoot my 20ga O/U. They were 7yrs old in this picture
