Not legal in most states for a 10 year old to elk hunt, FYI

Last I knew all the Rocky Mountain states were 12-14 years old minimum for big game.

A kid under 10 can take hunters ED in NM and take it under the age 10 if a parent takes the class with them.
Lots of kids under 10 kill cow elk every year in NM.

No minimum in wa, think the boy was 7 or 8 when he got his.
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

JFC we're already off to a bad start, with half the guys ready to tell this woman her son can't even hunt elk.

I know I wasn’t double digits when I started shooting BG. Feel bad for those kids who have to wait. My 5 year old totes his 22 this evening to call coyotes, betting we don’t wait 7 more years before he smokes a deer....

Just reread that and I kinda repeated myself. Obviously you knew what I meant. A kid can take Hunter Ed at 10 and under 10 with an adult. A kid under 10 can take hunters ED in NM and take it under the age 10 if a parent takes the class with them.

Heck I read in a thread right here on the fire that a kid under about 13 shouldn’t be allowed a pocketknife. Probably shouldn’t be elk hunting before 35 or so.

My youngest took her first cow elk when she was 12. She maybe, might have, could've also been carrying a knife at the time. May have even used said knife on the elk in question. Sure hope some Karen doesn't try to slap my hand for questionable parenting practices.

My son at 9 deer backpacking and hunting in Virginia: He still remembers it. We didn't get one that time. But we both have awesome memories. Any state that has an age limit is stupid.

Marine hawk all due respect your kid was ready and mature enough at 9 doesn't mean every kid is or that their parents did an adequate job of raising their kid either. That stupid law is there to.protect the rest of us from some kid who has had piss poor parenting and not mature enough to be handling a firearm. If a kids parents don't shoot or hunt some 3 day course going to give him all the smarts he needs? I say your right if every kid out there got the time and mentoring you gave yours. Fact of the matter is most don't get that and if they talk to their buddies at school about it they would get expelled. There is appalling lack of parenting these days.
