My sons 1st coyote

[wc870]

So I've had my 12 year old son out a Bunch of times with no luck, but everything came together tonight. I made a call to a local farmer ( a place I've hunted before but it had been a couple years since last Being there ) he said have at it, so we had 40 minutes before end of shooting light. In the truck was my 22-250 and a 22lr. I tossed some of my hunting gear on him and we headed out. Set up the foxpro 50 yards in front of us and a little down wind, he got set with the 22-250 and I turned the call on distressed cottontail while I got ready with the 22lr, that was a mistake! Always get ready first! The call wasn't on 20 seconds and four dogs showed up. He took the closest one at 50 yds which didn't leave me with a shot with the 22lr. (The others were 100-150 yds out) I barked to try and stop the others with no luck. Anyway he's pumped!! And dad is jealous cause I've never shot a blond dog before. 40lbs according to the bathroom scale with me holding it

Good job ,keep your son in ammo .

 

[wc870]

Keeping him in ammo is not an easy job!
Summer hobbies are steel challenge twice a month, skeet every Wednesday night plus some Sundays when club has 5 stand set up, three gun, and some local fun rifle and pistol matches!

Ok ,was thinking just the one 22/250,i stand corrected ,that's a full plate alright!!!.

Definetly not just one gun, when he was 18 hours old, uncle Willy gave him a single six, A few years back I got him a Winchester 9422, he saved up his money from mowing this summer and bought a wing master 20 gauge 870, and for Christmas I gave him the 257 Roberts that he shot his first buck with. Needless to say I started him early, and he's on our team!
