It's just a one day hunt.....Sure you realize that. As far as gear goes it'll depend one what your hunting (blind, pit, woods, etc). If you don't need waders then wear your deer gear - and take a good fitting plugged shotgun for the youth. I like #3's shot shells

We are going to be in a pit. Yes I know it’s one day. It’s going to be cheaper than paying for a hunt for us over there to see how he enjoys it. He getting discouraged hunting deer. He will be happy just to see birds.

He will see birds. Just make sure and keep him warm. Buddy heater in the pit if you have too. I am assuming a 20 gauge, so 3,4 or 5 shot will kill decoying birds. Have fun and enjoy being in a flyway.

Yes sir I am packing extra clothes so he can layer. Yes he is shooting a 20ga. I will pick up some more ammo. In y’all’s shot size recommendations.

In a 20 gauge I'd probably go with 4s. Hopefully y'all aren't having to sky bust too much.

If you're staying at a hotel, don't leave any gear in your truck. I know a guy who had something stolen out of is truck or boat on multiple occasions.

Even in a pit, if no waders, go get him some rubber nock off muck boots at academy so his feet don't get wet.

Id suggest hearing protection, teach him hearing safety and in a pit the sound magnifies. He wont have as much fun if his hears are ringing all day.

We already practice hearing safety and I will make sure to pack his rubber boots.

Lots of good advice here. Old enough to shoot on the wing or going to have to shoot on the water? Probably important to establish up front.

Milk crate or wooden box to stand on
Lots of shells
Lots of snacks
Thermos of hot chocolate
Handwarmers
Extra set of socks, gloves and jacket, in case someone falls in

Something I never understood. On youth season dates the goose seasons are always closed for some reason.
But once we had a big pile of kids on a hunt and an active warden on the hunt with us. Some specks came by low and my boys were on the close end and I said remember goose is closed guys. He said just on that group...that's the stupidest thing I ever heard from the uppers...and announced boys ya'll had better shoot some of these geese so they don't eat the tundra down!
Open season..about6 boxes worth..for 2 sky carp and 2 specks but they sure had fun!

6 boxes was for 7-8 kids. 3 boxes and you will bring some home for sure

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to hear how it goes and see some pics. Lots of good advice above.

I'm sure you're aware of the shells having to be steel (or tungsten/bismuth) but just wanted to make a friendly reminder for you.

Good luck and have fun! Not too many things as good as a good duck hunt. thumbup

The way I read the regulation is that geese are legal game for the youth. The goose season is closed for adults. That keeps "Daddy's" gun out of the pit.
