This is cool! Good job teaching him hunter safety. I love seeing skills passed on to the next generation.

And how do I phrase this? You can't do something like shoot woodchucks from your dining room with any semblance of responsibility until you know just how crazy doing something like that is by having learned the correct way of doing things first.

Any caliber recommendations?
Alright!!! Congratulate the Inch for me!

Savage's Rascal is an outstanding first firearm. In .22, sized for the smaller frame, it's made for kids. And they come in different colors.

I'm always excited to hear about a kid interested in hunting. It is to be celebrated.

Well, I hunt for venison, which to my mind is more legitimate than just cutting the head off the deer and leaving the carcass behind. Unfortunately, there are some asswipes that do that around here. Lucky there are way too many deer.

The inch will be 12 at the end of Nov. The mm is 8.

oh I agree, I just still don't like it. I'd be vegetarian if meat didn't taste so good and the alternatives so awful

My grandson, Brian is turning 11 and in 5th grade. He is small for his age, always has been. He decided to play football on the community league and is as expected one of the smaller players. Sadly, their team was a new team for this league as their numbers had grown and instead of just drafting the kids into existing teams they started a couple of new teams and most of the kids have not played a lot so they have yet to win a game, let alone even score so far!

Here a couple of shots of him from last week, he is in the white uniform and the one taking a dive. The other team kept putting this big kid up against Brian because they knew he could easily get by him and go on to the next kid. But Brian kept trying to block him. The big kid was nice though, after he would knock Brian down he would give him a hand up and pat him on the back.

That's a dangerous disparity. As long as the bigger kid is cool, no problem, but one slip of the temper, or just a misjudgment in force needed, can be serious.
That's why you should always carry a knife, then nobody can say you can't cut it.
