My daughter generally likes going with me (she'll be 9 in January), but hasn't yet actually "hunted". I showed her the pic on AZOD where the little dude knocked down his first dove - she said "Why can't I hunt?"....
Some questions - I know she can hunt small game and - I guess - doves. Under 10, they don't require a license, correct?
What about the type of game? I want her to be able to have some success. I'm thinking rabbits, but my problem is that I don't think she'll eat them. Personally, I don't like the idea of just killing em (I don't really like to eat them, either). I guess I'd be interested in hearing everyone's thoughts and strategies on getting youngsters involved.
Also, the kid in the pic had a youth .410 (I think) - that seems to be a reasonable choice. Anyone know best place to buy, rough price, etc.? All comments welcome. I did buy "her" a .22 magnum awhile back, but it's a little long and heavy yet.
