How old were you or how old were your kids on a first hunt? What’d you hunt and how’d it go?
I have been going out in the woods since I can remember. but the age I was when I carried my own rifle and actually sat For deer by myself is a little fuzzy. Probably around 13 after clearing hunter safety. I also can’t remember when I started going with my dad and just sitting with him to learn the ropes. (I’m talking about more than just walking for squirrels)
I’ve got a five year old who always wants to go with me. While I don’t anticipate getting much with him wiggling beside me. It got me thinking, when do you start taking kids out into the cold to get a taste for deer hunting?
