To my boy to lake Seminole with Loneshark and his boy. Left Tville at 3:00 and there was still 5 trucks at the landing. We motered to where we wanted to hunt and got set up. Showed my boy (he's 7) the gater eyes and assured them that they cant get into the boat. then we proceded to cook eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese on english muffins. yumm. We had a good experience with the other hunters everyone set up a couple hundred yards or so apart. At daylight not much happening, but the coots we flying everywhere. So we let the boys have a blast with them. My boy even shot one out of the air(with my help) he was elated.

A great experience for him and he say's "when can we go again"

. We did manage 2 ringers which decoyed in for him to see.

Congratulations on introducing your son to the the sport!
I remember my first coot- and duck.
I'm still close with the man I hunted with those days- he is like an Uncle.

Super. Great to bring new kids on. Please explain to him the safety and courtesy rules of how far to separate boats. Its great to see respectful young people enjoying God's greatest gift to man, his creation!

Sounds like a great hunt,shooting lots of birds ain't always necessary.

I let him man the spotlight and told him why we showed our position.
