[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2490034, member: 92702"] In this part of the country kids start hunting and fishing much younger. They hunt (Unarmed) as soon as out of diapers. Most have killed a deer before their 7th birthday. By the time they are 12 they are over the little guns and shooting stuff like 270WSM, 7RM, etc. Same with shotguns. By the time they are 12-14 they are shooting at least a 20ga and many of them 12ga and are on a skeet or trap team with school, 4h or something. That is also about the age most of them will have completed and passed their Hunter Education. They are begging to hunt by themselves. It happens a little at a time with the parent staying in sight of the little one. By now they are expert at driving ATV's and learning to drive trucks and cars. By 14 they have a permit for driving on the road with an adult. Both my girls were shooting good scores in competition long before they could drive themselves there. By the time they are 16 they have a driver license and a hunting one and go off on their own. It is my understanding that kids are getting less and less excited about growing up and clinging closer to home now days. I hope that is not the case and have no first hand experience with it but have been told the above is no longer true. It was when mine grew up. [/QUOTE]
