I don't know.....I think different regions have different perspective. Here in Texas, we have two solid months of deer season and if you own your own land or have lease rights to something, well, you can be out there all weekend and on holidays.
Might be different for kids in other places who only have a short window.
It certainly would depend on performance for my kids. While I think of hunting as an essential skill and cultural 'rite of passage', it is also a privledge.
