crazylady,
You are a re Crazy-Beach, and should be a poster child for peta. What the hay are you thinking. taking a baby out and shooting guns around them at less than 2 years old.
(PURE CRAZY)(NO SENSE)(YOU SHOULD BE SPADDED)
Mite's thread "some people should not own dogs"
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN
Here is the rule of thumb for the real bird hunters and mature adults
As soon as they are responsible with a BB Gun. Around 9-10 years old
get them involved afew times a year save the birds in the trees or on the ground. Away from the dogs. and let them have them.
(same as training a young dog) Too much too soon equals no hunt or no discpiline.
Never start a young bird hunter with a 410
when they are old enough to handle a lite 20 then they can hunt and be succesfull at it.
More than likely this will be around 12-13 years old

RE: HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG
I think the one part of their post I really agree with is not to send a young hunter out with a 410. I have always been told that. Generally not enough shot, and harder for an inexperienced hunter to kill birds with. In my case, it doesn't matter, my son isn';t old enough to shoot anything anyhow. Just want him to tag along inthe field and get a chance to watch the dogs and get a feel for hunting

I don't know who you think you are but what I've read in these forums you seem to think your opinion is the only one. I'm not going to explain myself to someone like you!

Explain your Crazy Non-Sense,
I encourage you to find a resonable person,who takes babies hunting.
My Opinion is based on alot of experience, notmyths or redneck ingenuity.
From the begining of time no one in the history of hunting has ever done what you have.

RE: HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG
Keaton started hunting with me as soon as he could sit. He was carried in a kelty baby pack[best money I ever spent] on all my hunting/scouting trips. He was with me for training dogs also. Now at age 12 he is my best hunting partner. As for guns for kids, Keaton got a Montecarlo cap gun to take with him at age 5. He was shooting a single shot 28ga at 8. He would go shoot sporting clays and preserve birds with me. When you mentioned Father/son time that is the right thing to do. Don't waste a minute, but stay at his level. Most kids are good for a little while, then want to do something else. If you want him to like it, pay close attention to this.
Example: I took Keaton to Kansas to pheasant hunt and the first day was weird weather, so we played in the back of the truck most of the day. The next day all Keaton wanted to do was watch the dogs and hold the roosters that I killed. Bottom line take him and don't let anyone tell you different, but have him ready to go, clothes, boots, food and plenty of stuff to do in the car.

Shooting a gun? climbing a tree stand?
(Don't let things like common sense get in your way)
What happens when the baby cries or poops. every 30min. or sooner.
I am not as stupid as you think, There is a low to no chance that a succesful hunt really could have taken place. More than likely it was a flat-out lie in the first place.
Taking a 1 year old hunting and killing a deer; Really.I must have an issue, amI the only sane person?

RE: HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG
Scouting, taging along, watching dogs work, and helping skin an animal are one thing. Having an infant hanging from a tree in a backpack is another. That is Michael Jackson material!
I have seen too many good dogs shot by youngsters/inexperienced hunters... Shooting over a dog is a right of passage, its sacred; not a chucky cheese arcade game. 12 minimum.depending on the individual.

When he was a year and two years old we would put him in a backpack so he sat above me.
