Default RE: Deer Gun for 8 year old

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!

I sincerely hope this post was made in jest.

My kids started deer hunting when they were 6 with a NEF 223, and by age 7, I had both moved up to a Ruger M77RSI 243. My oldest son decided that hunting wasn't his thing, but I had my youngest son shooting an Encore 270 by age 10 (which he still shoots).

My youngest son is 10 in this photo and his first deer with his 270.
