Getting their feet wet

I agree waders are a must, Gus is on his 4th or 5th pair. Oakiwear have been good for us, look them up. I think we have a pair of 8-9 that he has outgrown here. Where in ct are you?

True.The 5 gallon bucket with a snap on lid is standard gear in the boat when the girls are hunting.
 
BB guns were also part of the entertainment for an interval of time. I?d shoot the farthest decoy or pop cans or try to hit coots, ruddy ducks, etc.

Harmless fun and the beginning of responsibility
 
My sons are now 25 & 27.

They've been on dove shoots, local duck hunts, etc since they were 3 years old. (a 3 year old makes a great retriever on a dove shoot)

These pictures were taken on a week long duck hunting trip 750 miles from home. Just me and a 6 & 8 year old. I preached to them, "stay warm and dry", of course they had their mishaps and we look back and laugh at them today. No cell phone, the only "vehicle" is a boat, tent camp hunting in SE La 20 miles from the nearest launch.View attachment Andrew and Zach 6 and 8 yo.jpgView attachment Andrew and Zach first trip.jpg
