RE: should children be aloud to go hunting
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!

RE: should children be aloud to go hunting
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.

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.

RE: should children be aloud to go hunting
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.

RE: should children be aloud to go 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.
