[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 172305, member: 1485"] I personally want my kids to wait. It's the anticipation that is key to building the desire. I wasn't allowed to hunt until I was 12. It was the law, but it was also something I think my parents wanted, too. Which was great, because the more I was brought along with the "big boys" and got to see them hunt, the more I was chomping at the bit to do it myself! I started my son last fall on his third birthday for his very first "hunt" with dad. We laid down in a blind and he got to witness hundreds and hundreds of Canada geese fly over our heads. No, we didn't smoke an early-season limit, but we did get five, including my first band ever. He still talks about it, and claims he has dreams about hunting ducks and geese and pheasants and deer with dad (which is funny, because he hasn't come deer hunting with me yet -- but he did come with for geese and ducks and pheasants last fall). So we'll see what the future holds for him. Maybe I'll let him plink a dove off a fencepost or ground pound a teal for his first bird ahead of our self-imposed 12 year age limit. But all I really care is to build that drive so I have a hunting buddy for life. [/QUOTE]
