Thought it was about time my lad had his own nice little shotgun, he’s getting ready for secondary school and it’s in an old market town so I bet there will be a few kids in his year with them!

ive got an old poachers 410 in the cabinet but it’s a single and rickety as hell so I’ve never let him use it. 
 

so here’s to some good times in the hides and the woods
 

took him up to a farm about a mile from the shop just so he could have a go, it was pi55in down so on with dads coat and cap

it didn’t sit him on his arse and the grin on his face was priceless.. yildiz o/u 410 and a slab of 14g no5’s

Took him to a chicken farm last week and I could see in his face he was mortified cos the 12b is just to big for him!

think I’m as happy about it as him now, best thing to come out of this lockdown was getting to spend more time with the kids when they slackens the restrictions.. been fishing and shooting loads
 

lost me loader now

Absolutely spot on Si. Good on ya mate, top dad. We don't get long before hanging out with dad isn't cool, so I'm same as you mate & grab every chance I can with them. Maybe I don't shoot as many pigeons as I could have that day, but spending it having laugh with my kids can't compare. 

I was saying similar to someone other day, she moaning can't wait for kids back to school etc I was saying I've loved them being off so long. Difference is mine have been shooting, tree climbing, sheep shearing, fishing, tractor driving, pond dipping, butterfly counting, bird counting, feeding pheasants, plumbing in water troughs, baling etc. Whereas hers have watched telly. Us country folk are weird, eh??

Get him trained before them wimmin get their hands on him Si ,a good days game shooting will distract him for a while
