If a kid can reasonably hunt a species and that hooks them and makes them want to be more involved then I see no reason to change that. She even decided she would rather go hunting this coming Saturday than a track meet, doing our trip we have done the last 3yrs.We are planned to go to AZ early 2027 for sandhill crane and javelina and she is really excited. Thanks [USER=871]@Ericb[/USER] for turning me on to looking at AZ a few years ago.Younger daughter, 11yrs, missed her first deer last year, only 1 shot opportunity but she got to learn a lot and it wasn't lack of hunting time with each daughter. Ended up meeting a guy that does exotic rams not far from me and gave me a really good deal on one for her, he loves setting up kids on animals. Went out and after some fast paced attempts the 3rd try was the charm and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything, now she is hooked.There are states that a 6yr old can shoot a deer and many of them continue to hunt with their parents and at least have a chance to gain intrest in conservation.I felt that 10-11yr was reasonable for my kids, other parents might have other opinions and that is fineIf we $#!+ on our youth they are bound to return the favor.</blockquote>
