At 13 talking to your girlfriend seems really important. Taking a child which he is, is very important. I would rather see him hunting with you than out on the streets. The lessons he can learn while out hunting could possibly be more important than the lesson he learns by getting left at home. The time you will spend with him, gives you the opportunity tobe a positive influence in his life. Maybe don't think of it as his first kill but as quality time. He will be able to think of alot of stuff to get into sitting at home. This is just my opinion. Let us know what you do.
