[QUOTE="Volbuck777, post: 4913780, member: 20960"] [b]Re: How old[/b] Good stories guys I believe y’all are doing it in a good way. I’ve had this conversation with a lot of people over the years and there seems to be a lot of mixed feelings on it. I’m not sure I’m crazy about the idea of letting the kid harvest an animal without them understanding what it’s really all about. Such as, I can spat something out about we shoot them for food or we do this to feel a little closer to god by being able to be in his creation. Then they can hear me say it and repeat it. I believe that until they come to understand the respect for the creature and the challenge of what they’ve done they may not be there mentally. I’ll also say I want them to love it as much as me and can’t wait to share it with them, but it may be best to hold off until they get a little older. Maybe not. Also I don’t know that we should make it a thing of it’s easy, well play games and leave stand whenever. I got to believe that while hunting that we’re also learning life lessons such as patience. I don’t see it being much different than a grown man going and paying thousands to hunt a high fence with 100% success rate.
