Well not really. Actually he is holding a cap pistol he brought along to handle the big boars. It seems that him and me got left behind on this hunt. The dogs jumped up this boar and it took off, with dogs in pursuit. I went back to get the wheeler and grandson and never caught up to the action. Son-in-law did and put and end to it all with his .38. Boar had some dog killers in his snout, but they don't show up so well in this photo.

But I did spend some quality time with the grandson and got in the picture. Not a bad morning.

cool start them young

I've never had a bad morning taking a young'un hunting.

Great job, betting the grandson had a wonderful time even if he wasn't in on the kill.

Thanks to all. I will do all I can to instill the love of the outdoors to my grandchildren. I think a day in the woods beats a day in the hood by a long shot.

Besides all that I enjoy it. Right now he is all about ridding the wheeler, but that will change. I plan to give him a cap & ball revolver as soon as I'm sure he's ready. That's how I started, they are cheap to shoot enough to learn the art of pistol shooting. Learn the pistol, the rifle is easy.
