Early Season Goose Trip - Will Update as We Go - 09/08/21 02:24 PM
Will be leaving tonight (myself, son (8) and daughter (9)) headed to my brother's place for 3 days of goose hunting. Kids are too young to hunt here in Ontario but they should have fun (they really enjoyed the trip last year).
10 bird daily limits so hopefully we'll come home with a cooler full of meat.
I'll update the thread with pics as we go... everyone is excited but we need to get through work/school days before we leave. I am having a really hard time focusing on meetings so far LOL.

Go get the kids!!! Their mind is farthest from school right now. It will be time well spent. My M in Law always says to not let school interfere with their education when it comes to road trips.

lindner115 - no can do. They are already missing 2 full days of the first week of school and my kids don't do well with disruptions to their routine.
This will serve to amp up their desire to be on best behavior and not screw this up for themselves LOL... anything worth doing is worth waiting for.
Plus, they need to learn that responsibilities come ahead of fun times.
That said, I generally agree with your sentiments above... but in this situation I need to be the bad guy LOL

We'll all be shooting 12 Ga.
My gun will take 3.5" shells but I kill plenty of birds with 3" BB

No need for the 10 gauge anymore! You can do the same thing with TSS and a 410 and have a lot more fun!

How old do the kids have to be before they can shoot to?
Hope you kill a bunch!

Missed my only opportunity today, but surprisingly few birds around. Kids were disappointed that dad missed with all 3 shots LOL

Well just redeem yourself tomorrow. Good time to teach that hunting isn't about the killing but the enjoyment of the outdoors.

Finally some birds moved...6 on the ground and one dead bird missing in an uncut hay field (we'll find him before we leave)

Well, we're home safe and sound. Thanks for following along folks. I just finished a 4.5 hour drive, so I'm laying down for 20 minutes LOL
