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.

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.
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore I believe in work, hard work. -George Petrie (1945)

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

This is a first for us so I am clue less 75 shells should do it. Most I've ever seen shot by one kid was 4 boxes. Couldn't hit a thing

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.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

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. Yes, you are correct, kids can kill geese.

Duck hunters are never happy with the weather.
Its like the stock market, you want it moving, doesn't matter if its up or down, but you don't want it static.
Weather has been static since opener.
