I would say 4-5, whenever they are ready to go.

I'm guessing I'll start my son around 5 or 6. Checking cameras and things. I don't know about hunting though. My daughter is 12 and said she is interested but last season I took her and she couldn't put down her cell phone(texting) and she tried naming all the cows in the field behind us. Try again this year with her though.

I've taken my son (age 9) along on an antlerless hunt last year, when the weather was really warm. He has accompanied me and the pooch on some pheasant hunting trips close to home as well. I doubt that he'll be coming along for another few years during the regular gun deer season in late November up here. Until he can sit longer than an hour or two...no way. Although I'm breaking him in more each year with ice fishing. We'll see.

I remember sitting on my father's shoulders while coonhunting at the age of 3! My oldest son has been turkey hunting and warm weather deer hunting with me since the age of 4. It used to kill me because as we would pull away from the drive my 2 year old son would be standing at the window crying because he wanted to go. I really believe the kids themselves will let you know when they are ready.

My dad made me wait till I was 13. Now he tells me he wished he started me sooner, but I've only been hunting for 8 years now and I've killed 11 deer.

I took my son out when he was 6. He wasnt ready to touch the deer yet but he really enjoyed the experience.

I took my son with me when he was 7. He carried a gun when he was 8 and killed a doe opening day. He has been shooting .22 since he was 7 and he still shoots every Fri night and is a BAR 6 NRA sharpshooter. I also forgot to say he killed a jake this past turkey season also. I am very proud of him, and he and I are both ready for November 15th!!
