TexasDeerHunter Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 At what age did you first go hunting? My daughter will be a year old in Nov. I plan on taking her to the blind with me. Trying to start her out young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest outdoorgirl Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Re: What age to start hunting? I was 11 years old and my brother would make me kick out the rabbits and pheasant in the hedge rows. Thanks to him i became the hunter that i am today. I started taking my nephew two years ago with me deer hunting at age 7. He loves the outdoors and i love having him with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTSIDER Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Re: What age to start hunting? This is hard to beleive but some of my first memories are of me and my dad out in the woods when i was maybe two years old, he used to sit me between his legs and show me leaves and try to help me learn the colors and what kind of trees they were. Its the stuff like that i like remembering. I remember, i was 5 and killed my first squirrel, i can still see it plain as day in my head, it was in a white pine tree, shot it with a twenty guage, lol that was along time ago.

M00N Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Re: What age to start hunting? I took my hunter's safety course at age 13. I went on my first hunt at age 14, but I didn't get my first deer until the next year at age 15. I'm 21 now, and have 4 deer so far. Now that I've been out of school for a few years hunting is a lot easier when I can go during the week, instead of just weekends, like I had to do back in High School. Our school didn't consider hunting a valid vacation, they didn't feel it was educational enough. So, you either had to call in sick to go hunting during the week or only stuck to weekends.

wtnhunt Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: What age to start hunting? Started getting my oldest daughter out some when conditions were favorable when she was about 4, just to sit and watch. Took her for her to be the hunter for the first time when she was 8 during the TN early ml season. She had opportunities, but would not shoot. She shot her first deer last year at age 9 with a rifle during the TN youth hunt, TN finally changed the youth hunt to include kids from 6-16 years of age. Previously it only allowed for 10-16 year olds to hunt that weeekend. Got my 5 year old out a few times last year, and will be getting her out more this year too. Going to be fun taking the girls.
