He's 9 and I have him all next week so Im hoping to get out and let him shoot some more.If you can get him shooting a couple clays and feel he is safe enough I have seen more than a couple 9 year olds mature enough to hunt behind dogs. The biggest thing is the ability to take a safe shot with keeping the dogs in mind. Stocked pheasants have a tendency to fly low and slow. Unfortunately that can lead to a situation where the dog jumps after the bird and a person shooting has the chance of hitting the dog. I prefer that hunters be able to wait and shoot when the bird is 5-6 feet in the air. That can be easier said than done in the excitement of the flush. |

I'm a shorter guy and it fits me like a glove. |

I got him a really small .22/410 break action that he started with. I'm keeping it when he is big enough for me to buy him a real shotgun. Those .410s are awesome.

screw the kids. I need to get off my butt and go pheasant and quail hunting. Been wanting to, and occasionally go for walks in the woods for grouse and quail. But never with a dog or anything. Would love to get my kids into it but we have a couple 2-4 more years before the oldest will be ready for hunting. I doubt my youngest would though. I don't think he has it in him to kill and animal.

Sept 1 starts grouse season, pheasant a month or so later, then chukar out east but I won't hunt those until a couple of hard freezes because of the rattle snakes with my dogs. Grouse season lasts through Feb I believe. I will be hunting everywhere in the state but for grouse I will be hunting the north west coastal region to around the salem area on the east side. You are plenty welcome to come along. This is my first year hunting Oregon, so a bit of a learning curve for me in this state. |

I prefer an improved and skeet choke for grouse with a gun that has 26" or 28" barrels but the shorter barrels on your mossberg won't be a hindrance in the grouse woods. |
