In my opinion that is one of the most dangerous things in the woods. My son hunted with me by his side until he was 13. He killed his first deer laying on my back and me holding the gun and aiming for him while he pulled the trigger. He was 3 years old. I know some live in non hunting families and in such case should have a mentor. A course will NOT guarantee anyone to be safe for a lifetime, hell anyone can make a mistake. I could go on but I won't. I am just glad you are happy with your laws and I am glad I am not in the woods with a bunch of kids that took a course and got turned loose in the woods. I know several kids here that got a lifetime license for their 1st birthday.
I'm glad you clarified that the kids shouldn't be hunting to begin with.
You Failed to mention that in the original post. Since this is a safety
issue thread I don't Assume anything.I asked.. What do you expect the Parent to do, cause once again you Failed to mention the parent shouldn't not have him in the woods hunting.You just mentioned the kid shouldn't be practicing his shooting in a safety course. Once again this is a thread on Safe hunting and assuming gets you or someone or an animal hurt or killed. Clairification is key dude. And I hope you don't have those kids out there hunting, I don't assume everbody follows what you do.I certainly don't assume, I know there are kids out there shooting on a whim.
