maybe, just maybe, its ok to take these same kids into the woods with you every time you go. maybe, just maybe, they dont need to be on the gun. IMO IMO IMO IMO the internet has made it sort of a competition to see who's newborn can kill stuff. Ive heard some weird ass stories on this site for "my kid killed his first deer" when dad held the gun. I dont get it.

Slow your roll a little. If the kid is afraid of a gun kicking, maybe its just too early.
I've had three kids. All went about it differently. Honestly, the really slow walk with my daughter turned out to be the best way (for her, too).
