With the thought process of the guy who started this post I guess that would go for older people to. Maybe I should tell my Grandfather who taught me this great sport that since your too old to drag a deer back to the truck that you don't get to hunt anymore. I am just so sick and tired of people throwing their personal beliefs out there about EVERYTHING. If its not this its baiting or hunting deer with dogs or whatever the hell it will be the next time. You don't wanna take your kids at a young age then don't but why do people think everyone else wants to know how you feel about it. In a declining population of hunters it still amazes me how many of them are more worried about stopping people from hunting a certain way or at a certain age or whatever rather than banning together like they should to try to preserve this great sport for the ones you so strongly disagree with being out there. Its a kid for gods sake and if his Dad/Mom or whomever is at least teaching them this sport then let it alone. So sorry they aren't teaching the way you feel they should be. Its opinions like yours that will ultimately be the demise of this great sport as your more worried about your own personal opinions than the big picture which is we need every person possible involved in this sport. Its people with opinions about things such as this that somehow feel they are preserving the ethics and heriatge of the sport but rather all you are doing is harming it and giving all the animal rights people exactly what they want which is a divided population of hunters. The next time someone feels the urge to force their personal beliefs on us maybe they should stop and think about what it is your really accomplishing here. As far as I'm concerned let the parents decide whats right for their own kids and maybe give em a little support for at least getting up off of the damn couch and doing something with their kids. I took my kids hunting at a young age just as I was taken and glad I did and glad I had someone to take me. As far as wether or not they can drag or gut a deer or not I really dont give a you know what because in the end when I'm too damn old to drag a deer anymore, guess who is gonna be there helping me just as I done for them. Yea that awful kid that was out there having his dad drag a deer for him. Wake up dude.
