My sons first deer I was laying on my belly and he was laying on my back. I held the gun and told him when to pull the trigger. He was 3 years old and has been my best hunting partner ever since. He is 14 now and can out hunt me most days. New hunters need an adult or someone with a lot of experience when they start out. A bunch of kids together especially with no experience would be asking for trouble. Find some adults willing to help and go from there.
