Default RE: Age for youth hunting

All kids are different i guess so i would say when you think they can handle the conditions out there with you. I think my dad took me outbow hunting with him when i was5 years old i think, same age when he took me duck hunting too and ect. Minnesota has a minimum age of 12, i think that is a good age to go bye as kids aren't the most responsible at any younger age and how are some of these kids supposed to pull the minimum poundsback the state requires them to pull when bow hunting. Its good to start them young huntingbut lets not force the issue with them either, let them make that decision onthere own when and if they want to hunt! Me and my brother were shooting our little recurves when we were 2 to3years old, we might of been ready to hunt before alot of other kids but not all kids are alike so the age they have in Minnesota to me is a good thing.
