RE: hunting age!!!!!!
[8D] I'm 53 and have been hunting since 12. My only son got involved when he was 15. We love each others company and enjoy our hunts tremendously. I also urge hunters to bring their kids to the sport. The only caveat I would add is that you think very carefully about grooming young hunters. Show them what is available and see if their interest has been raised. If they don't show much interest I would strongly urge that you back off. If they want to try hunting in the future they will step forward and let you know. In the meantime please be the model hunter that all of us would be proud to partner with on a hunting venture. When kids see behavior that they respect they will follow your gentle lead. JMO
