My deal with him is "He calls 'em, and I shoot 'em" We've been practising his turkey talk with the box call. I was able to borrow a handful of my friends decoys and some gear and we'll pop out for a couple weekends. My father in law lent me his Remington 11-48 from 1952. It had some rust issues but i was able to but some effort into cleaning it all up and took it out on this past weekend with the boy to get a feel for it. Yep, stoked.
Make sure you pick a place far from roads if you are using decoys and blinds. There's lots of people out there shooting rimfires and they scare the hell out of me. Just love the sounds of the riccochets off of the ground and branches!
