I don't have any friends that have kids old enough to hunt yet, but have introduced two friends in the past3 years to hunting. They are addicted. I have 2 more that I am going to introduce it to this year. I havea few more that want to try it, but the way I see it,If I want to trust someone with a gun, they have to be the kind of guy who will get up at 2 AM from a dead sleep to pull you out of a snow drift. All these guys would.

You learn something when you introduce someone else to hunting. For years allI wanted to due was to harvest a deer, when I introduced my friends to hunting, that all changed. I would gladly take the worst stand or take the "thick" cover when pheasant hunting just for them to get the shot. I love hunting and still want to harvest that "Wall Hanger", but get a kid or someone new to hunting there first deer and see the look on there face, priceless. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a father and see your kid take his first deer, hopefully someday for me. Until then, the high I get off of a buddy taking his first animal will good enough for me!
