[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3899516, member: 35036"] So my nephew is 7. He’s kind of a timid kid, but smart and loves nature and the outdoors. He hears me/people talking to me about hunting and stuff. Recently he has started regularly bringing up the idea that one day he wants to go hunting with me. He loves the idea of going out, hanging out in nature, and hanging out with my pup. Pretty much the things I love about it too. I see a big hurdle with it all though, nobody else in the family is into firearms or hunting. His grandpa (my father in law) started fishing mostly because his grandkids wanted to learn. Then I came along and helped with that. I got my wife (his aunt) and my sister in law into shooting and getting their CCWs. But his dad is not necessarily anti gun, he’s just not a fan of guns. Grew up in Juarez and dealt with a lot of crime and killing as a kid, lots of cartel stuff. I can’t say I blame him. So with this all in mind, at what age did you get your kids/relatives kids out hunting? What did you hunt? How do those conversations go with your relatives? What kind of guns did you have those kids use when starting out? [/QUOTE]
