How old for first solo hunt?
For those of you with kids I wanted to pose this question. My oldest son just made 13. He has been hunting with me since he was 5 or 6. Of course more and more each year as he could tolerate. We have really focused over these last few years on getting ready to hunt alone. We have spent the time at the range, talked safety every time we hunt, reviewed the do's and dont's. I can't think of a thing we have not covered several times, in fact he is more prepared to hunt alone than I ever was. The reason I ask a this is my wife does not think he is ready. I do, as a matter o fact I feel safer with him than some other adult I have hunted with.
