Old enough to eat, old enough to hunt...

You'd think the rabid evolutionists would advocate perpetuating the hunter/gatherer stuff. But Nooooooo....

Hunting and Second Amendment Bump!

[CindyDawg]

The age is pushed up with each accident? What's the age of the oldest hunter that has shot something other than intended?

[dirtboy]

State law allows a child of any age to shoot game as long as a parent or guardian is no more than an arm's length away.

I was dove hunting with a .410 at ten years of age. I've never had any kind of firearms accident.

Overreaction.

Sixteen... not old enough to hunt under father's direct supervision.

But still old enough to get an abortion without parents knowledge or consent.

[Viking2002]

Norm Phelps, of Fund for Animals, argues "it's unrealistic to expect a hunter education class to make up for a child's lack of emotional maturity."

No, you mentally diseased pablum puker, it has nothing to do with maturity, hunting classes, or safety. It has everything to do with you and your sniveling ilk looking for every opportunity to incrementally outlaw hunting of any kind, for any reason, by anyone. Go to hell. No, better yet, go hike through the woods. With an antler hat on. At 6 a.m.

Just another attack on our rights and way of life.

They figure that if they can keep kids from hunting while they are young, and at the same time bombard them about the evils of guns in school, by the time they are 16 they'll have no interest in guns.

Shooting sports along with gun safety should be taught at a very young age.

[Lurker]

"If you don't let a kid hunt at 16 or before 16, he's not going to start at 16," hunter Wally Davenport said.

Mr. Davenport has hit the point of this proposed law.

Stupid laws...and tons of them...

Jr High we would take our 22s to school keep them and the ammo in our lockers till it was time to hop on the bus and ride out to a friends farm and hunt tree rats in his woods...or rabbits in the nearby fields..

Sometimes our folks would pick us up after or we would spend the night and ride the bus back into school with our rifles put them back in our lockers and after school walk home carrying our rifles..

Never an accident...we all knew the rules and anyone who messed up even a little was taken to task..apologized and remembered..
