don't worry about your age as long as you can enjoy what your doing. my brother in law is going hunting with me & my dad this year me is 32. like jimbohunter said be patient and don't get frustrated when you don't kill a big one your first year. it takes pratice to hunt the big ones. if you love the outdoors you should love this. i'm going on 19 years now & every year i look farward to hunting season.
