Ive shot many things with bb and pellet guns through the years and thought it would be easy enough getting a deer when i was 25....nedless to say I came up empty handed. Ididnt know what the hunting really meant until this past year when I actually put forth the effort to watch tracks, make food plots, look for hunting areas, game trails, etc. So I would have to say that I was 26 when i first started hunting.

not sure at what age i started going with my dad, but i know i was 10 when i started shooting grouse with him, and been hunting ever since, i am now 29. i would have to assume i started going along for the ride with him when i was probably 5.

I was 7 when I first started going. Nine when I was allowed to bring my own gun. Eleven when I killed my first, a fine little 8 pnt. I'm 31 today and still get as excited now as I did as a kid!
