At what age do you think people should be permitted to have a hunting's license?

[webexplorer]

I fed my children with meats since they were babies... They didn´t know where the meat comes from until they went their first school, that´s how they learn where the meats come from and then become vegetrians...

My eldest son on me for never told him in first place where the meat come from. I was like and told him that I never thought about that because he never asked me where the meat come from in first place. He taught his young brother where the meat come from... They both are upset and refuse eat meats.... *sigh* It took me ages to explain why the meats are important.... I´m patience with them until they understand why the meats are important and then eat meats at last few years ago... LAST... *phew* My both sons know now but they refuse to shot animal for their dinner but buy meats from butcher because they didn´t see and know how the butcher did with animals.

That's interesting. It is good idea for anyone to be a vegetarian.

Like Heath said. Teaching a child starting at 12 would be perfectly fine and it's not a sick sport like some like to make it out to be.

Yes, hunting animals for sports isn't right, but it's different when it come to hunting for food. You'll be surprised to see how many deers actually starve to death which is a long term of suffering rather than a bullet wound to the head.

Deers tend to overpopulate when there are no predators to consume them. That's why we have certain seasons where we hunt and kill deers for meals.

It's not about violence at all. Big difference from drive-by shootings.

Actually, it started with people that cause over population, and took over properties in order to build house developments for business-money. That's the reality. Some rich people are buying large properties and conserve them for animal rights. Partly true that deers overpopulate where there are no predators in some area.

Many deers have ticks on their skin, and this is a serious problem. I don't know if the hunters could get sick from eating them. I bet that Heath would love to eat ticks because they tastes so good.

If I see any hunter come to my property with my trespass signs, I will shoot them seriously.

In order to eat deer meat , you would have to take it to a meat processing station to have the deer checked out and pronounced okay & fit to eat.

You are out of your mind , man !!!! If you crunch on one of the deer tick and swallow it. Good bye to your heart. Deer tick will do things to your heart.

I welcome hunters on my private property as long as they obey the laws of the United States of America and are very safety minded hunters. The rest of the year, I have trepassing signs posted then during hunting season I have the Welcome sign that says

" You may hunt on my land, please respect the law of the U.S.A. and hunt safely. God Bless !!! "

What happened to your Snoopy? Was he killed by a hunter - by an accident?

webexplorer,

Snoopy is on his way to the puppy farm where he was raised and get some of his siblings. From there, they're coming out and stealing your satellite dish, so the other puppies will have cartoons, such as Peanuts, to watch via satellite.

In Minnesota, a child can go hunting at age 12 only if he/she has successfully passed all requirements of firearm safety. One of the biggest things that I learned when I took it is, if there is a sound, don't shoot. If you can identify what you're shooting, then do so. Otherwise, do not shoot. If you can't see it, don't shoot it. Watch where you point your gun. There is no such thing as an "unloaded gun." Also, the first year, the child cannot hunt alone, regardless, and no excuses. An adult over age 21 must be with him/her at all times.

I vote "any other age"
Wild Duck, Deer, Wallaby Kangaroo, Brown Quail and Pheasant shooting.

Anyone wishing to hunt game in Victoria, including juniors (12-17 years), must hold a current Game Licence. "Game" includes those species of duck, deer, quail, pheasants and partridges declared to be game in Victoria. A range of licence types is available, depending on the requirements of the individual hunter. For a full listing, please see the table below. The Game Licence must be endorsed for the appropriate type(s) of game that you wish to hunt and only permits you to hunt game in Victoria. Persons less than 12 years old are not permitted to use a firearm or to hunt or take game

I don't mind seeing children using guns for sport as long they will return it back to their parents afterwards, rather than hide and take it to school.

Guns is dangerous weapon than alcohlic bottle in their school bag because guns don't bring dead people back ALIVE!!

When I attended public high school (riding dinosaur-back), the school sponsored a girls' shooting club. I have the pictures in my yearbook. It was no big deal back then. No one expected students to use the guns on each other. It was skill training and competition.

Some of my cousins went to a different high school from me. The school was bigger than mine and they had a shooting team where my cousins won awards. It was in the news one time where they described the team and said they had the guns safety locked away when not in use.

Thank you for share your cons and pros posts on my threads... I appreciate it very much...

I vote the age of 21, It's all about mind control. I don't like the fact that kids walk around guns in their pocket, bringing to school when they know how to shoot at the younger age. I believe that guns should not be given to kids until they are 21 years of age to avoid lives of a lot of people. Hunting is not something for children to witness at a younger age. It's disgusted to me, having them watching their father hunt and cut up animals, That's violence in my eyes for children to watch this and learn. I never purchase fake toy guns for my boys because I don't want them getting an idea of thinking guns are cool, because they are not cool. Guns are dangerous weapons and should not be messed with.

A M E N !!!

Yes, I'm agree that the parents positive the children about hunting animal for foods, not for the fun but I'm also agree with Cheri's point, too... It's scary to see the children hold the gun but I have to make cons and pros information about hunting to my children. It's no good to hide the positive from the children case they will find the truth from someone else and lost their trust on us.

Oh yes, I remember from few months old thread. One member stated that She shoot pigeons with my shotgun with adults and children. I find it's not okay to shot pigeons for the fun... It's scary because the children will learn automatic that it's for the fun...

My ex husband grew up around his families that goes hunting, so he has alot of experiences when it comes to hunting, now that I have three boys who would love to go hunting more than anything, We allow our oldest son who was 12 at that time to go with his dad to serveral hunting trips, learn how to hunt, use a gun, etc...

Yes, it's understandable that anyone who grew up to be hunter like mlds and teach their children how to take the responsible and respect with guns.

sometimes parents got to learn to let them go, we can't always have to protect them all the time, sometimes they need their spaces by trying things that they enjoy doing the most, even if it took me awhile to allow him to go,

Yes, it's same with alochol, teens driving, car races, dangerous job, etc. It's normal for them to experiement their curiously. Guns and teen drivings risk human life.

I made sure my ex husband stays with him all times not to let him go alone in the woods, or whenever they go hunting at....As a mother, I don't like guns, and sure don't like hunting, but my boys do, so I have to learn to live with it and let them have their fun..

Yes, it's same with alcohol, driving, etc. The children must have parents around... It's about parental supervison.

but I relized that they also can eat deer meats, ewww please don't tell me what it taste like....I tried it once, I almost threw up!!!....

Yes I know what deer is... There're very common to eat deers, boar, ducks, wild hare, etc. My hubby loves to eat all of them... I don't cook all of them but if my hubby want to eat them then go to resturant.

The bottom line, sometimes we may be a bit overprotective as a parent to our children, but we have to draw a line somewhere, by stepping back, and let them live the life they enjoy doing...We may not like what they want to do out of this life, but sometimes we need to listen to our children and what they really love to do, cause our children's happiness is what important

Exactly, that's why I did with my children. I allow my children do with their experiement.

btw Liebling I didn't vote cause I don't see anything above that says under the age of 16..

"Any ages than 16, 18, 21" - which mean is any age... you vote any age then share us what right age you beleive.

Hmm, we never had any of these problems that I can tell you. Nor have I heard any from people I know around here.

There are a lot of them here, most of them stay up in the trees. We have a lot of trees around here, they're always making nests out of leaves and grasses in the trees.

I really don't understand why squirrels would do that to some houses in your neighbourhood. It just doesn't make any sense when they have everything they need is right outside. Rats and mice, that's a different story.

We've had mice, though it wasn't that serious of a problem. Whiskey, my cat pretty much took care of the job. Thankfully, she didn't eat or bite them because these rodents are so filthy and carry diseases. It's amazing what a domestic housecat can do with her paws to make a kill.

Yes, I'm with you...

I have many squirrels around village where I live... (near forest). I never have problem with them...

Yes, we have mices and rats... Sussi, my 19 years old cat is good mice hunter. Of course she ate them after catch and play with mice...

My son did tried eating squirrel meat but he did not like it, he prefer deer meat, but he does go with his dad to squirrel hunting but not often, he usually goes deer hunting cause that what he likes the most, then just shooting a bunch of squirrels....

My ex said squirrel meat taste better than any other meat when it comes to making stew just like Reba said....but to me it isn't, it taste nasty!

Eating squirrels? *goose bumps*

We are not allow to hunt and shoot squirrels...

It's too late for me to edit my response post to Cheri...

Prince Charles was forced to watch hunter did with fox, deer etc when he was a little boy... Now he's sport hunter... He want to do the same with 2 princes but princess Diana forbid him because "sport hunter" is for the fun which it's cruel. It's supposing for meats, not sport.

Yes, deers have ticks on their skin, that's why the hunters are obligated to have Lyme disease vaccine accord Public Health Insurance law because a lot of ticks live in forest and also on animals in the forest.

If I see any hunter come to my property with my trespass signs, I will shoot them seriously.

They had shooting club for the boys too in high school back then and it was no big deal. Like Reba said it was skill training and competition. Sometimes I wish we lived in that time where there were good moral values both in the public and the private life of national U.S.A.
