RE: HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG
Scouting, taging along, watching dogs work, and helping skin an animal are one thing. Having an infant hanging from a tree in a backpack is another. That is Michael Jackson material!
I have seen too many good dogs shot by youngsters/inexperienced hunters... Shooting over a dog is a right of passage, its sacred; not a chucky cheese arcade game. 12 minimum.depending on the individual.
