[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1641581, member: 108965"] At age 4 my dad started me with a Remington semi-automaric .22 rifle, at age 6 I shot my first 12 ga shotgun, a Browning with the recoil absorbing barrel system and also with a .223. At age 6 got to hunt for the first time, duck hunting, with that shotgun and I will say that those were some of the best hunting times of my life. My dad drinking his coffee black and I was drinking hot cocoa at 10 to 15 degree weather. I still remember the blind we made from branches every season. At age 8 got my first Javelina with a .223 and got to hunt dove, quail and ducks with a single shot 20 ga shotgun. At this same age I got my first mulie with a 7mm-08. At age 9 another mulie with a 270. At age 10 got my first coues deer also with a 7mm-08 and amother mulie with a 270. I was shooting a 270 and 280 at age 9 and I loved it. I atvage 10 I went through 100 12ga shotgun shells in a day with my a Mosberg 500 shotgun. We hunted ducks in the early morning and then moved down the road to get the doves coming down to the water and feed. We usually rounded up about 40 to 50 ducks and about 150 doves between my dad, my cousin and me, a few quail and a couple rabbits. Recoil was fun, still felt it the next day but it reminded us of the great times we had. I learned how to respect a gun at an early age, they were not toys, they were tools and we treated them like such. If my brother and I screwed up we paid the price and never did it again. We were raised and though right. I plan on doing the same with my son, heck he is barely going to turn 2 and I already have a Ruger 10/22 ready for him, and an H&R bolt action .22 for later on to shoot silhouettes (like the one I am holding on the picture at 8 yrs old or maybe 7). Also working on loads for him to use my AR in 223/5.56 and provably get him a 410ga or 20ga single shot shotgun for rabbits and quail. [/QUOTE]
