I think its a good idea to start a youngster out in a dog club if possible . My father would take me squirrel hunting when it was to early in the am to drop the dogs on a track . Or put me on a crossing while he went tracking the roads . When it was to late to turn the dogs out we would hunt ducks around the cypress ponds . Never needed a damn video game and I was ate up with it . Before I was old enough to pull a bow back sufficient enough to kill a deer . I would wake up to find my dad had gone bow hunting and would cry like a baby .
