Default What age to start children hunting?

Saw an older post and it got me to thinking since I have three boys (7, 4, and 10 months). So, I decided to make a poll to get other dads opinions as to when they started, or plan to start, their children hunting.

I started carrying my Red Rider BB gun on squirrel hunts with my dad as far back as I can remember. The first real hunting experience I had was in the dove field at the age of 10 with my newly inherited Stevens 20-guage crack barrel. However, due to a bad deer hunting accident that resulted in my dad loosing one of his best friends, it wasn't until I was a late teen that I finally persuaded him to take me on my first deer hunt. It was an uneventful hunt, but started a passion that has grown tremendously over the last 20 years.

Thanks in advance for your participation.
