From the village of Ekwok:

“Went goose hunting the other day. I took my two sons with me. Zech in the photo was the man of the bunch. He carried his 410 all day. He watched his dad and brother Josh shoot continually at high fliers, all day long. Zech never whined once. I would ask Zech how ya doing. At 8 years old he said its better then sitting in the house. Zech can barely shoulder the 410. He tucks it under his arm aims the best that he can. He misses but I give him nothing but praise, nice shot Zech and we high five. He says he missed but I tell him everyone misses. We bagged 15 geese that day. On the way down river we would jump ducks. I had Zech in the front of the boat with his 410. I knelt by him telling him to get ready some ducks are going to jump, and they did, Zech shot he missed, but boy was it fun to kneel by your 8 yr. old son and talk him through it. Was worth a day off.”
