how old were your kids...
...when you first took them hunting for big game? If you were going out looking for Black bear and doing a lot of hiking in the foothills(2500-3000 ft. ASL) would you consider it risky to take a 7 year old or do you think it is perfectly alright? Or does your opinion lie somewhere in between? Your opinions may impact my upcoming weekend. (we will be looking for blacks, but even though they are not in season now, it is just as likely we will find grizzlies as well).
