Another 28ga bird. 6 year olds first

Post by jrseale82 »

I've talked to several people this season trying to get there kid a bird but couldnt get one close enough to shoot them with a 410. I offered my 28ga to several people and one finally took me up on it today. As we were setting up he asked, "how close does he have to be?" I said anything inside 50 is dead. So we set up with two 6 year olds and both of their dads inside a blind and I set up outside to watch the back side. We were hunting a chufa patch where they had been watching a nice bird about all season. About 30 minutes after we settled in I spotted the bird coming. I gave a whisper to tell them he was behind them. He cleared the brush and I gave the word to shoot and boom the bird goes down at 42 steps. What a day and a week; killed the bird of a life time, a solo with the 28, took an 11 year old that is recovering from a bone marrow transplant, got my dad one this morning and Reeds first one this afternoon. Here are a few pics and the video. Its not the best and there is a few explicits but all out of excitement. If I need to take it down mods let me know. This was his first bird and it was a good one. 17.75lbs 1 1/4'' & 1 3/8'' spurs and 10 1/8'' beard.
