Questions for young hunters...
How old were you when:
1. you got your first bb gun?
2. started shooting firearms regularly?
3. first went small game hunting?
4. first went deer hunting?
5. sat in a hunting blind by yourself?
I know each set of parents raises their kids differently, and different kids have different maturity levels at any given age. I'm just thinking about the decisions I'll have to make about my boys as they grow up (they're just 2 and 5 yrs right now.)
