I've taken my son, Chad (11-years-old), on a few hunts before; squirrels in KS, ducks in MO, and grouse in AK. He's fired a few rounds but not yet brought a critter to bag. Tomorrow mornin' we're off to Quantico, VA for squirrels and I've got a good feelin'. Wish us luck and maybe we'll have a pot of squirrel chili for dinner. :grin:

Thanks NYHUnter. Chad took his first critter this morning, a squirrel, and it's in the crock pot with chili fixin's. What a great day.

Sounds wonderful Matt! 11 is a neat age, big enough to do a lot but not quite to the stage where they know everything ;~) I applaud your starting him out on small game, I haven't known a good small game hunter who is not a great big game hunter.
