I do not understand the dont push him deal.You are there parent not a friend. My son is only 5 now.But when he was not quite 4 he wanted very bad to go hunt yotes at night with me.I set the RULES if he did not folow them very close [ he is only 4] HE DID NOT GO.Well gess what he hunts with me any time I will let him [some time the weather is a bit bad for a 5 year old] I do and have made exeptions for him.

I do think BOb H in NH has the deal. But in no way would I let him deside when and where. I think this a big reasion why the good old USA is so messed up. All the moms /dads are saying well when you are ready you can do it.The world is full of HAVE TO DO THINGS. Hunting is one of them. If you want to kill deer/yotes or any thing for that matter you have to do things.Ask my 5 year old son.He will tell you set still and dont talk the deer will come.
