[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 4913983, member: 19427"] [b]Re: How old[/b] I believe this is sage advice. I have taken my now 5 year old “squirrel hunting” many times. He doesn’t know it but we aren’t hunting squirrels at all. We talk about life, nature, you name it. A couple times a squirrel has shown itself and I intentionally “can’t get a shot” or “he’s too far away”.... We always find things in the woods that captivate his attention. It’s likely that this fall I will actually shoot one to see how he reacts and gauge how able he is to process it. I believe taking a life is a big deal- even a squirrel. And that there needs to be some maturity to do so... I also believe that occurs at a wide range of ages in children. [/QUOTE]
