I appreciate all the advice; I'm going to get us both signed up for the safety ed class and then reach out to a couple friends that duck hunt- at least to get a feel for it and let my son see if he's still interested.

What type gun should I be looking at for a scrawny 12 year old? 12 gauge shotgun or would that be too much?

I started shooting a 12 gauge at 11 years old. It depends on his size and what he can tolerate. If he is smaller framed, get him a 20. Dont worry about getting a gun first. See if you like hunting and THEN purchasethe gun. I am certain your friens would be fine loaning you a gun.

You don't want your first hunting experience to be a south louisiana marsh duck hunt............that is unless you are taking the gf who you want to absolutely hate hunting and never want to go back and think all you do when you're hunting is be miserable. Then, by all means, make that your first hunt.
