Default How young to handle 20 gauge slug recoil?

How old was your kid when they could first take the kick from a 20g slug gun?

My daughter is 9, and will be joining me deer hunting as soon as she can pass the saftey test and handle a deer-legal weapon. It may be a few years yet.

I live in IL where we cannot use rifles for deer, and want to get her a 20 gauge slug gun because I think she will be able to handle that earlier than pulling a 40# bow, which is the legal minimum draw weight limit for deer here.
