I have a 10yo daughter who has been with me a few times, and a 14 yo who has no interest in it at all. They have both watched hunting shows with me. I am a bit concerned about the first time the younger one actually sees a kill, but she does know that's what happens. I was in Bass Pro Shop a few weeks ago and they had hunting shows going as well. I think it's fine, but some people will never be ok with it.
