at least thats what my four year old Grandson Dylan calls his 223 Handi Rifle  I took him hog hunting at a friends place this afternoon. We found some hogs around four or so. After a short sneek we got to maybe fifteen yards of one in waist high sage and brush. After several short moves he finally got a shot, using my rifle as a rest. Took the top of his head off...DRT.  After we got the boar loaded I told him we were going to look for a hog for me...he replied.. "well, now you know how"!!!! troy Birmingham, Al | ||

That's how I started my kids out - hogs, then does, then anything from there on. I have 4 kids. My oldest, my son, loves to hunt, but can't stand the waiting and silence required; so he prefers bird hunting; but has taken numerous hogs, one nice wt buck, a nice aoudad, and real nice axis buck. My oldest daughter decided she doesn't want to kill her own food anymore (she decide this after I staked out a nice mature wide 8 point and put her on it). Okay I told her; told she still has to sit with me at least once per to hunting season. She still likes going outdoors and fishing, so that's good. My middle daugther has decided guns are to loud and wants to bow hunt only. That's pretty cool. getting her a hunting bow this week (upgrade from practice recurve bow). My youngest daughter, 8, loves to sit with me and hunt. She has only had once chance so far - but we couldn't find the hog she shot. She is anxiously awaiting her next hog so she can graduate up. She also loves shooting at the range and helping field dress deer (with gloves of course).

RMiller, that min 12 law makes no sense to me at all. My oldest daughter killed her first deer at age seven, 100 yard one shot kill with a 6mm. Youngest daughter killed her first deer at ten, killed a turkey at eight. Grandson Dylan(pictured) killed a deer last year with a youth stocked 243, 25 yard shot to the shoulder DRT. Austin Hunter, my middle daughter never wanted to shoot any animals, but she was the best shot of the three, sub 2" groups at 100 yards when she was six years old with sisters 6mm!!! She would go hunting, and help clean the deer/turkey, just didn't want to shoot anything. All of my children went along hunting with me from the time they could walk. I used to carry my oldest daughter on my shoulders all morning turkey hunting. Dylan was in the stand with me when I killed my best bowkilled deer when he was 18 months old. troy Birmingham, Al | |||

I have taken all my kids fishing and some bird hunting. I took my oldest son moose hunting with me when he was four (only once he liked to call for the moose but he sounded like a predator call at 4 years old..not a good thing in Alaska). I took my 11 year old son, 9 year old son, 8 year old daughter out deer hunting at least once each this year saw some deer but didnt shoot any with them. They all shoot but the 12 year old minimum doesnt bother me much I was 12 in Montana on my first hunt. Shot a button buck Mulie and shot at lots of other deer and antelope on that trip. My next critter was a moose at 15 years old in Alaska with a younger friend by ourselves. Had it gutted and partly packed out by the time our parents arrived. .-------------------- THANOS WAS RIGHT! | |||

Well done to the young lad Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
