What age do y’all feel is the cutoff to bring a kid on a squirrel hunt? What age before they can shoot?
GF’s daughter is currently 3, turning 4 in October, and super excited about going hunting. Has been asking since the middle of turkey season when can she come. She’s already doing up to 1 hour fishing trips, 1.5 if the fish are biting. I’m very happy about both .
For her age, very mature and good at following directions. Plus she’s shown interest for going on 4 months now which I feel is the main sign before taking a kid.
My thought is she is probably ready this august to start going on squirrel hunts up to 2 hours long, with her being the deciding factor of when we leave of course. Let her get acclimated to bring in the woods and the sound of the 22. Maybe next year she can bring a BB gun, and the following a 22 or 410.
This sound reasonable or is this a little too young? I think she would be devastated if she didn’t get to go at least once this year.
