my 11 year old has been hunting with me since she was 7, and when she told her teacher i take her hunting, the teacher said it was strange. i dont think so. my 6 yeal old cant wait to go, because her sissy gets to go, hopefully she too will eat chips and dip while we gut hogs, and hopefully she too will BEG to reach in and pull the guts out.
i think it depends on how you are raised. havin parents who never hunted, much less own a gun, i am makin it a priority to learn what i missed, so that i can pass hunting down through the family fer generations to come.
