Grandson's first duck hunt

Our neighbor graciously asked my grandson Grant and me to accompany him and his father to hunt ducks on the opening day of duck season. It was an adventure for Grant as he had never experienced anything quite like this. He enjoyed watching the ducks, watching the dog work and riding in the Gator Tail Boat / Motor as it sprayed water high into the air behind us getting us safely through the shallow water marsh to the blind and back all while building memories from this outing. He is a crack shot with his BB gun and will hopefully soon acquire a .410 to give duck hunting a go. We were rewarded with eight Gray Ducks and a Mottled Duck for the morning hunt.

I almost got run over while taking this picture of our neighbor (driving), his father and our grandson Grant. A great time was had by all.

Many thanks for your kind comments. Grant is in the second grade and is a great little guy. We are fortunate they live just down the street from us where we get to see them often. He loves to shoot his BB gun, play in the woods behind his house, build forts and harass his two older sisters. Geez, he is acting just like a second grade boy! :lol:
