RE: Letting Young Kids Kill Deer: Is It Right?
Yeah, it's almost as bad as an adult "hunter" paying some outfitter $1,500.00 so he can roll in from out-of-state on Friday afternoon to have the outfitter drive him to a stand he's never even seen before on Saturday morning, where he can shoot a 10 point buck and then wait for the outfitter to come pick him up to track and field-dress the deer for him - and the "hunter" thinks he's really accomplished something.
My daughter killed her 1st deer at age 16, and my son killed his first at age 9. Both with traditional muzzleloaders. And yes, I field-dressed both their deer. But, they did a lot more "hunting" than a lot of the "hunters" that hunt on the commercial properties in our area.
