Wow...

If the family is truly unfortunate enough to not be able to afford groceries, parents are working, and can't afford to keep food on the table, then yes, I would rather see the kid, or anyone else in the family shoot the small game rather than rob a store, rather than robbing a 7-11.

You should make sure they know the laws though, tell them that it isn't legal, find out their situation, and if nessisary, if they truly are desperate, then just let them do their own thing, and help them out when next deer season rolls around if you have extra meat.

If you don't like my opinion, I'm sorry, but it's mine, not yours... Thanks!
