I agree with Ballistictip. I shot my first deer when I was 8 with my grandfather (my Dad doesn't hunt) it was a clean shot through both lungs and he did the majority of the cleaning. He has a rule that the first deer me and my brother killed he would clean while we helped, but after that since we knew had to do it, we cleaned our own deer and thats something i will undoubtedly pass on to my son or daughter, when i have them that is.
