I believe the issue is use of the term "hunting". I've seen 12 year old girls shooting 160 class bucks. Is she really a hunter because she sat in a heated and enclosed stand, was handed a rifle, and told "shoot that one". Not hardly. Don't even attempt to argue. Drop her off in the middle of 10,000 acres and see how much "hunting" she does.

She's shooting deer, not hunting them. Big difference.
