How old were you when you started hunting big game?

Shot my first doe in texas at 8 yrs old sitting in my dads lap in a box stand. Good topic brings back good memories

Started hunting Arizona biggame in 1970 at age 10...Got my first buck, a large bodied 6x5 37A Muley, in 1972 at age 12...My 32 year old son got his first buck, a good eating 2x3 36A Muley, in 1993 at age 10...My 30 year old son got his first buck, a heavy, palmated 113" 35b Coues, in 1997 at age 11...all three of us have enjoyed fairly consistent successes ever since...........

Went along with my Brother and Dad when I was 9. Humped my 20 gauge and a vest with 2 boxes of shells all over the mountains. Should have asked if I could shoot at all the quail. Dad wouldn't let pull the trigger. My Brother got his first deer that year. Humped the shotgun, shells and both of their rifles off the mountain. Dad still laughs about it.

 

I got to hunt the next year. I guess the old man was testing me the year before.
