My kids first kill

EviL · 03-23-2008, 06:34 PM

So I got my 5 year old boy his first bb gun yesterday. Just a Daisy bb gun from wallyworld. We went out in the woods behind our house and he got his first kill today. He was very excited about it, as was I. Good times, good times.

Those are the times he'll remember. Good times.

Tell him welcome to the varmint hunting world.Looks like quite a little man.That BB gun is better than mine.Varmint hunters don't eat all varmints.We kill some because they do damage.That one could have chewed a hole in your house.Good shooting. sam.

Is that a song bird? I'm all for teaching to hunt and shoot from a young age, but I'm not sure if teaching to shoot whatever moves is a good thing.

Im no bird expert, so I have no idea. I just told him not to shoot red birds, blue birds, scissor tails, and woodpeckers which is mostly all we seen today. So if I were teaching him to shoot anything that moves I would have a pile of all the birds listed above, and a lot of hurt cats and dogs.

i used to do that in the spring, i used to shoot what we call arund her e vergina grasshoppers, they are big (for a grasshopper) and have wings that they fly small distances on. used my old brack action pellet gun, good time!

EviL · 03-23-2008, 09:21 PM

thats a good idea. i havent seen any grasshoppers out yet, but there are usually some pretty big ones around here. and theres a lot of those big black and yellow garden spiders with the zigzag down the middle of the web. man i hate those freakin things. i know they're not poisonous but id probably die of a heart attack if one ever got on me. haha.

Good shot

sell33 · 03-24-2008, 11:11 PM

Yeah i have always shot the sparrows, pigeons, blackbirds, etc. None of those mentioned above tho. when i was younger we always did this at my aunt and uncles b/c they always sh*t all over everything in the barn. We always shot grasshoppers too that was fun....

Lng Rng · 03-25-2008, 12:42 AM

That bird appears to be an English Sparrow, and you can shoot them. I know when I was his age I did, and had just as much chasing them around as anything. I will be willing to bet he uses that thing every day he can, and will be a great training device.

meatloaf · 03-25-2008, 02:18 AM

Nice shot wish I could say dont shoot something you wont eat but then I would be a hypocrit. After all my BFF and I killed everything we could with our peelet rifles growing up. Now its funny we wont shoot anything because it makes us feel bad lol. He is saving up for a 50 cal rifle and I think I might have to dust a pariedog with that.

win39 · 03-25-2008, 03:48 AM

Nice shot: I think that's great. Memories like that will last forever. There is not anyone on here that has never shot a bird or some varmint that they did not eat so don't pay them any mind. Welcome him to the world of varmint hunting. You need to get him some Camo.

irish murphy · 03-25-2008, 04:26 AM

I love it,5 years old and into it.Good stuff.

I dont know how big your grasshoppers are but on the weekend i shot one that was over 6 foot tall.Blew the big buggers head clean off.

EviL · 03-25-2008, 07:27 AM

yea, he had some camo but already grew out of it. kids at this age grow like crazy. i think ill get him some in the near future and let him go coyote hunting with me. of course hes going to want to take his gun and try to kill one with it, lol .
