We set up were I thought they would go. I called but no answers. About half an hour after set up 3 jakes came out at 25 yards. My boy said that he would let 'the girl' take the first shot. Here is where the learning comes in for me. She could not get the safety off. Mossberg 500 with a scope. My boy helped her get the safety off but they were 50+. At that point I called DON'T SHOOT! No big deal, they were only jakes.
Everybody learned something. They learned birds can come in silent and they need to be ready at all times, I learned just because I can do it does not mean every one can (safety) and the jakes, well, we will get them next year.
(wife said I can not write "smiley face"), yeah, that is what she told me to do. To tell you truth, this was my best hunt. I had more enjoyment watching the kids than I have shooting a bird.
Looking forward to next sat.

BTW, early this week I am unleaseing the best caller to hunt with me. My 5 year old is gonna call a bird on for me! She is all set. Not sure what I will enjoy more. If she calls a bird it will top it by a little. Nah, it will be the best.
Best of luck!
