I believe in my state (Maine), you can hunt at the age of 10 after you've taken and passed the hunter safety course, and I'm not sure, but I think the 10 yrs olds have to hunt with an adult. My dad started me around the age of 8 to learn to shoot. I think the first 10 times I could only practice with the .22 (no live bullets). By age 10, I was shooting and that fall, my dad took me hunting for deer.
