Thread: Farmer will be proud

I have been informed by Justin, now 6, that he has decided to take up huntn'. He wants to jump right into deer. Whoa nelly I sez. I ain't against yer huntn' there, sport, but deer? Hows bout we start ya off with squirrels? He agrees, which I confess, it's been years for me(gonna be fun). So we go to Gander Mnt last weekend right, and like I said in the report he checks out EVERY single stinkin' piece on the rack. C'mon junior we gotta get over fly fishin' thats when he see what looked like a Davey Cricket .22.

So it's down to this, warm up mom with scouts and their BB gun match. Let him bust off a few from my .22, then tell mom about 7 weeks later. Explain how well he handle himself and then make our selection by next squirrel season.

Davey Cricket Model 238 .22


OR the Rogue Chipmunk 00001 .22

It's always easier to get forgiveness than permission.....well most of the time. :D

My son is six and I am getting him his first BB gun for Christmas.

Sounds like the Boy has promise. I wish him luck. Ah yes, I remember My first squirrel kills. Got two that day. First was not a clean kill. wasn't pretty. Probably was the beginnings of My cold hearted ways. The second was clean as a whistle. A couple years later. Killed My first two deer on the first trip I got to shoot the gun. The pile grew dramatically from there. Now I laugh or pat myself on the back making a long complicated shot. Tell the boy that Farmers pullen for em. Mater beware!:DCF
