Backpack hunting gear for kids

Obviously too expensive to give to your kids - but the Sig image stabilizing binos are pretty great for kids to be able to use and actually enjoy.

Let us know how those vortex’s turn out. The smaller objective makes sense for kids too.

Well today was a big day... my son turns 8 next month and he passed his hunters safety course last month. Today I bought him his first gun! Mossberg 510 mini-bantam in 20 gauge. Specs are pretty sweet for a kid. Interchangeable standard chokes on an 18.5" barrel. 10.5" LOP with a 1" spacer. Stock is made for small hands at the drop so a kid can reach the trigger. After that it can accept a full size stock. Also can accept longer barrels in the future. Total length is under 3'. Total weight is 5 lbs. I can get different choke tubes for turkey or slugs if needed.

In CA at his age we can hunt upland game, waterfowl, small game, turkey, and coyote. Surprising considering that in a lot of states hunting starts at age 12.

Can't wait to see his face when he gets it. He already knows its coming one day but still, it will be a day he will never forget!IMG_9975.jpeg
