Taking my 10 year old son for the first time. The kid almost limited out and proved to be a bit aggressive on claiming birds he may have not killed. One bird I clearly shot landed right at his feet, in his pile of birds. He claimed it as his own. When we got ready to leave I had already unloaded and slung my gun over my shoulder and had his gun in my hands preparing to unload his when a dove flew over. I killed it with his gun. He claimed it as his too.

I've seen near fights break out over who killed a bird when 2 guys shot. But I sure wasn't going to argue with my 10 year old.

No one particular shot stands out, but the fact that he did so well on his first outing left a big impression.
