Before any misinterpretation of my post arises, I am talking about KILLING, not HUNTING. I hope everyone takes their children hunting with them. I am all for children being in the woods with a supervising adult. My posts concerns those children who have no ability to deal with an animal other than to shoot it. I don't think that it is responsible to let a child kill a deer when that child cannot even field dress the deer. THERE IS MUCH MORE TO HUNTING AND TAKING AN ANIMAL THAN KILLING IT. And Cardeer, please, don't confuse the issue by bringing up irrelevant arguments.
