Default RE: Letting Young Kids Kill Deer: Is It Right?

I say when they are old enough to fully understand what that responsiblity is, and why they are doing it, then they are old enough to hunt. If you wouldn't put a razor sharp knife in thier hands to gut a deer, then they are to young to carry a gun or bow to harvest an animal IMOP.

I've noticed this too, if you have to aim the gun for them and keep it steady, then they didn't really shoot it did they? They just pulled the trigger. I'm not against kids hunting, just ones who are to young to really understand what they are doing, or remember it when they get older.
