I took two first time hunters out yesterday morning. This was a father/son hunt that I donated as a "guided hunt" for a Delta Waterfowl fundraiser. These two had never hunted waterfowl. The birds put on a great show for them. We killed our 3 man limit before the huge waves of birds came. After our limit we quickly just got out of the field and sat back watching 500+ birds land in the decoy spread. Needless to say they had a great time.
Here is 15 year old Andrew with his first limit of geese. The kid was a good shot for never goose hunting before. Good kid and a good dad.
After all the birds left, I called another buddy and told him that I would hunt the afternoon with him and his boy to see if we could get his son his first goose. Hayden is now 11, but has been going hunting with us since he was 2 or 3 years old. Hayden got a new gun for Christmas and was itching to actually try to shoot a goose for the first time. We didn't have a lot of bird action in the afternoon but he managed to get some chances to shoot. After a few "warm up misses" he connected on a big honker. His dad and I were both pretty proud of him.
Fun way to ring in 2014
