re: 4 year olds first deer hunt

Boy I learned my lesson on seeing stuff vs comfort hearing protection. My sons first duck hunt was in flooded timber at 4yrs old. I FORGOT the ear muffs. I put hime in a blind and then we proceeded to shoot three ducks at first light, but not standing in the blind next to him. Didnt matter. Hunt over before 7am. funny thing was he was happy as a lark leaving the shooting hole because he thought the boat ride was huge fun.

he's 11 now and he'll be shooting with me and his grandfather Saturday morning. He keeps track of his own earmuffs now for some reason.
