My son also was 2 when I introduced him... he was fine with it and still is. He understands exactly what it means. I go hunting now and he tells me to get a big buck so we have lots of good dinnews (dinners in 4 year old speak).

My daughter is 7, she was introduced at 5. She loves to go out to the field to get pics with Daddy and Mommy after a kill. She inspected the gut pile Saturday after Hubby shot his 5 pt. She was quite disappointed that we were taking the deer to the processor. She told us she wanted to "gut" the deer like she always does with Daddy... she really meant skin it and cut it up. She was fascinated with the Amish guy when he cut the head off the deer Saturday afternoon, she asked if she could watch.
