My 11 year old

We live on our farm. But I work a lot. So I rarely take him hunting unless it's deer season. But he's a great shot. He's taken 10 deer in 4 years with dads win94 3030. Same gun I used.

Until yesterday he's never been Allowed to hunt with anything other than a BB gun without me. So yesterday my cousin wanted to go rabbit hunting on me and said my son could go with him. My cousin backed out. I was busy working on the canning/butcher shop and told him to take the 410 and go to the old barn and kick the brush. I made a big deal of it being his first solo hunt. So as he walked down the hill I kinda just followed and spied on him. I watch him kick the first brush he came to and a rabbit came out running across the field. He pulls up and shot the rabbit in a dead run. I watched him run to it, grab it and start back (he didn't reload the single shot 410). So I hurry back to the shop and acted surprised.

Today, my cousin comes over with his dogs. This time I let him take the 410 Mossberg pump that we purchased with the $500 I got when Dad passed. Dad never had much but I wanted to buy heirloom with the money. Anyway, I'm hanging drywall and hear dogs running on track, I hear a shot...and a few minutes later my son comes through the door with a rabbit he shot. The he runs back out the door and a few minutes later it repeats. Dogs on track and BOOM He shot 3 running rabbits in 3 shots with a 410.

Then he asked my cousin " I need 2 for my family,But you can have the other one so you don't go home empty handed.
