While hunting in Dee Lake area this weekend, I decided to take 2 of my kids along, Samantha - 12 and Josh - 10. Both have junior licenses. I only have the one gruse gun right now, so they had to take turns carrying it, lucky for Samantha! Her first shot at a living creature took the head clean off a juicy young hen! We were so busy giggling and high-5ing each other, we totally forgot about the other three hanging out next to us, until it was too late. LOL

She did everything right, it was a Savage 24 .22/.410 over under she was using, she didn't have her glasses on so she decided to go with .410, crept around for a clear shot and.... BANG! She's still giggling and bragging about it, can't blame her. Josh took it well too, all he says is, "Can't wait for my turn!"

Good on her, those old savage combo rifles are excellent guns for kids i've got one also , the accuracy with the open sights is deadly.

Now you better make it 'right' for the other one.

Ditch chickens are only the beginning. Next you'll be buying them each their own center-fire rifle. All these little victories add up to make keen young hunters. Good going Dad.
