Squirrel season opened up not too long ago in KY. My son has been dying to go and has been practicing with the family heirloom single shot .410. Opening say was a little rough for him. He came home empty handed but could wait to go back. A couple of days later we went again and the little feller racked up 5!! When he saw the first one fall he got the shakes just like he does when he is deer hunting with me! Of course he got the shakes on the rest of them that dropped too!! His little sister had fun carrying around the tree rats.
He begged to go again so we did. Nailed 4 on the next trip. His "hit percentage" was much better this time which was a goal we had talked about together. As a Dad it is so much fun to watch the fire light in a youngster and see their enjoyment and desire to hunt. Happy hunting this year folks!!
