That is a question only their parents should have the authority to decide.

Yes. Children eat meat so why shouldn't they be able to hunt for it?

No... we should keep them inside and buy them as many video games as possible, because society believes we are outdoors too much.

In fact I don't think any kid under the age of 15 should play football, box, shoot weapons, say a single curse word, or even think of a woman's underpants even one time! If they do, they are on the road to hell!

I have mixed views on this. I have seen adults that should not be able to hunt. But kind of depends on the kid. Heck a few weeks ago some kind shot his step mom with his hunting gun then went to school. So who knows. But i hate big govt. Telling me what to do.

Kids are the future of hunting. Get them started as soon as possible.

yes,let'em hunt,I started out at a very early age,but each kid has a different level of maturerty and it should be up to the parents as to when they think their own kid are mature and responsiple enough to hunt.

If it wasn't for this day pictured below, about13 years ago, I would not be hunting today and I have no idea what kind of person I would be...
I started with small game but thank god someone in the family got me into it.
Kids should taken hunting.

I couldn't wait to go hunting but under PA law at the time, I wasn't allowed until I turned 12 but I did anyway be it with a BB gun or stick and string.

Under my dear departed friend, Greg "Doc" Caldwell, that law changed and he introduced the "Mentor Program" allowing parents to take their children hunting at younger ages than 12.

I am 100% for children being allowed to hunt under adult supervision. They are after all, our future.

The gov't should not be able to tell you that you cannot take your children hunting with you if you want them to go, and that whole bit about killing sprees just makes me mad. The world is getting less intelligent by the second.

No, we should coddle them until they are 35 and still living in the basement without having to take any personal responsibilty so that they are perfectly conditioned for the nanny state Obama and the Democrats are trying to create for us now.

Hell Yeah!! I started when I was 4 going dove and squirrel hunting with my dad. I would trade those days for anything!!! I Couldnt sleep the night before I was so excited (still cant:D) Yes they should be allowed. If you teach them right they will be good hunters as adults too.

I'm for banning swimming pools, as they are one of the leading causes of accidental deaths for children in the US.
