Can you say Daisey!

8 year old kids has no place in the woods with a loaded rifle - period!

you cannot show me a 8 year old kid that has the maturity to be a safe hunter.

I would in no circumstances let my 8 year old kid hunt with a rifle.

Some people ought to have their heads examined!
Can you say ........ your own opinion....

I Started my oldest son early and bought him his first rifle when he was 6. Now understand that he never hunted alone. He always was with an adult. I feel sure that that is the case in this situation as well. So while your opinion might have a bit of validity, Perhaps some hunters / gun enthuists are not quite as irresponsible as your opinion makes them out to be. My son is almost 14 now, and I have complete faith in him. I still watch him, but he is very safe and compitent with a firearm. I don't know, maybe some of us are better teachers than others, but your blanket statement might be better served , being limited to your own household.

BTW .... I have had a few MRI's and cat scans , and my head is fine....but I do appreciate your concern.

God Bless
