Default RE: what age to start

I've allowed my kidsto go outand enjoy every aspect of hunting, from shed hunting, helping with the foodplots, checking the trail cams, roosting turkey, moving standsand about everything else in between. This seems to solidify their love and respect of the outdoors but I haven't let them hunt until later. In fact, my Daughter was 10 whenshe took her first deer and my sons will be 7 & 8 this season and will possibly have to wait just one more season before being allowed to actually shoot. The boys will probably go for their Hunters Safety Course this summer though.

My Daughter, now 11, seems to have really embraced this hunting thing!

First season hunting....


Second season....
