Hi all!
my youngest dauther tried hunting for the first time this year.
she turned 12 this spring, so is now old enough to hunt here in Quebec. since 2008 the fish and game here allow someone who never hunted before to call and get an hunting initiation number.
which after you get it, allow the hunter to buy all the hunting license he wants, and hunt all the seasons he wants that year, as long as he use the right weapon for the season. but he has to be accompanied by a regular hunter aged over 18. it's good for only once in your life. but it's a good way to get new people to the sport. if they like it , then they follow hunter ed. and firearms safety class for the other years.
since crossbows are allowed in bowseason here, and you can shoot any deer during bowseason, i chose to make her practice with the crossbow, it also less intimidating than a rifle at first.
so last saterday she was in a camo tent with her mom, when a doe came in range and stayed long enough for her to get a shot. now she's hooked, and wants to get hunter's ed next winter 8)
