My Son - Youth Duck weekend

[dreamlandnh]

I'm so proud of my son. He went out duck hunting with his Grandpa this weekend and came home with his first duck. Once I have a picture sent to me I will update with it.

I have added pictures of Wy with his duck. The dog is Wader.

Congrats to your son! Getting your first bird (or any animal if you hunt big game) is a great feeling! What is it? It looks like a hen widgeon to me, but I could be wrong. My first was an immature drake Widgeon. I was so proud

I have been updated with more information...This is a female Wood Duck. He was in Winchester NH at one of the back ponds. They went out yesterday too and saw nothing.

Last year was his first time out hunting during Turkey Youth weekend and he got his first bird. I have the tail & beard mounted for him (actually his grandmother did that). He then went out this year and got another turkey. Both birds he ate too...we told him if he hunts he eats what he brings home.

He has also gone and received his Hunter Safety just so that everyone knows. He hunts with his Grandfather and one of his good friends and they both carry hunting licenses.

I'm so proud of him. I think that he is going to try again this year for Deer Youth Weekend. Last year it was cold/rainy on the day he went out.

Awesome!!! They had the youth hunt yesterday and hubby said all the kids at least got 4 ducks if not their limit on ducks and geese. So that's great!!!!!

Keri - that is great that they got so many ducks. I can't image how hard it must be to get one.

Next my son wants to get a bow. He has his permit or whatever it is for that too. He went away to a conservation camp over the summer for both gun & bow. He also went and got his permit for SUV and snowmobiles. I'm so proud of him and he is only 13.
