[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1658555, member: 96251"] For both my sons they each had a 22 cricket before they were 1 yrs old. Bought both of them their lifetime hunting and fishing license before they were 2 . Huge discount . Both shot their 22 often but I believe the most fun each of them had was with my 204 Ruger at around 6 yrs old. Shoot my oldest son killed his first deer with it granted it was like 10 yards away . 9 yrs ago bought both of them H&R 223s in youth model one was 6 and the other was 5 , let them shoot them on and off all the next summer . Then handloaded some Nosler Partitions . The whitetail deer population has been on a downward spiral ever since lol. Not really but they generally kill a few each year . At age 12 we bought them each a more suitable bigger centerfire. The oldest son got a 7 mm08 . And for the younger one he got a 260 rem. Since then both boys have pretty well tagged out each year, on deer and bear. Last year the youngest young wanted to shoot his 300 win mag told him all I could as far as what to expect with the recoil . First shot he just looked up and grinned . He fired 5 shots with it last year and had 5 dead deer . The oldest son started shooting his 300 weatherby that was my dads this year and loves it to . Both my sons are very proficient shots and make me very proud. I can attest to letting them go at their own pace and not pushing nothing on them . My oldest son would rather squirrel hunt than anything, granted he knows there is a whole lot more meat on a deer but he just loves squirrel hunting and I honestly don’t care just so long as he loves what he’s doing [/QUOTE]
