Default Re: Appropriate Hunting age

I started hunting squirrels and rabbits with my dad at about four and shot my first squirrel at five. Dad was standing right with me when I shot it. He didn't let me hunt by myself until I was about eleven. I also believe it depends on the youngster. I wouldn't want to pressure a youngster into hunting but if he/she really wants to go,then by all means take him/her. Two of my three daughters are excellent shots and the third is better than most cops I shot with during qualifications. Good luck and stay safe. catfish
