[QUOTE="manitou, post: 1899222, member: 105280"] No laws against kids shooting with their parents at any age. Some states have a minimum hunting age (unsupervised) and some don't. I was hunting with Dad at (edit) 7-8 years of age and rabbit, squirrel hunting on by myself by 9 (parents must not have cared much for me, lol). On my own, I killed my first deer and dressed it at age 10... about four miles from the house. Waited until dark for mom to pick me up. Luckily another guy heard the shots and came over at dark to see if there was a deer killed. He helped me drag it to the road. Back then (early 70's) deer were scarce. That little 8 point was the only deer I saw in 9 days of hunting. Kids are individuals. Some are ready early, and I have seen thirty-year-olds that have no business holding a gun! Much of this falls back on parenting, but some kids "just ain't got it", lol! [/QUOTE]
