And without a doubt once he’s of legal age one of my outfitter buddies would take him Stone Sheep or Dall sheep or Grizzly hunting if I asked them too.
In B.C. you only have to be 10 to hunt big game, so it’s still 3 seasons away no matter how you slice it. I’m more so thinking of right now, which is why we were headed stateside this fall.
Although he does like tagging along for coyotes and small game, he prefers big game as I’m sure lots of kids would given the opportunity. He’s been on moose hunts, deer and elk hunts, bear, cougar and lynx hunts with the hounds (his favourite), sheep hunts in the kakwa and Wilmore and we just got back from Antelope hunting Friday. He’s watched me, his uncle, my guides and my clients kill them all, and loved every minute of it.
But...... he can’t pull the trigger himself legally, that’s why I’m looking for something different for this hunt.

Thanks again for sharing your opinion and information RC

Thanks, I’m sure he’ll like whatever I figure out.

When I was a kid the old man never left me at home, I got to hunt everywhere. I wouldn’t have it any other way for my boy !

I’ll bet you never pulled the trigger at age 7 either!

I’m not sure what the statute of limitations is on wildlife hunting related matters so I’ll go with “I sure didn’t” lol

But I will say things were a lot different 30 years ago and common sense was a lot more common!

The age restriction is a Government instated minimum requirement based upon the Average capability of humans at that age.

I know 6-8 year old's who demonstrate more common sense around firearms and ATV's than some individuals at 21+.

They should scrap it and have it replaced with a competency exam and or a declaration of control/liability from a parent/guardian.

Also there are plenty of disabled hunters who would never have an opportunity to experience the enjoyment of hunting we all here have and some take for granted. If it were not for places like Tork was inquiring about.

I also wouldn't but its a personal ethic. And as Such applies to absolutely NO ONE ELSE!

And Really when they open a new hunt in a up till now closed area, Suffield comes to mind a crap ton of people lined up for that without some of the vehemence exhibited here.
And not to leave out the Indigenous harvesters they run around potting animals from the bush roads mid summer.
There again I see no real huge difference with the quarry's unpreparedness being as they have been relatively unmolested.

I can just Imagine the lust running amok if they opened the Luscar Mine site to a limited entry Trophy sheep hunt. Bet a few on here would line up for first kick at that cat.

Ignore all the sanctimonious buttwadd replies. I cannot believe the stuff I have been reading on here the last while. Outside the suggestions there are some other bits of good news. If you fly out of Calgary you can get a Covid test coming and going, as long as y test negative on return there is no quarantine period. The return tests are free, outgoing is 150 a pop.

But honestly man this sounds like a momma bear problem. What the heck is a 7 year old gonna remember from 3 weeks of school?! Nothing. Take him state side, then out to the trap line, and it’ll be the best time he’s ever had. School and all that other inconsequential nonsense needs to be put in its place at the bottom of the priority list.

Sask is probably better for a farm hunt...but CWD...i wouldn’t do it.

100% true.

Great to hear from you JB, I was really missing your posts. I’m not sure about “fan fair and BS” lol I asked for recommendations 48 hours ago and I’ve got a few spots to check out now, surely I’ll have something nailed down right away. It must be tough living with that affliction you wake up with daily.
And...... although I know you don’t actually want to see some pictures of our hunts, I’ll post them anyway because I’m proud of my tough little hunting buddy !

[Jim Blake]

Pics would be great!! Always good to see pics of a Father getting his son started into the greatest outdoor activity on Earth!!

Simply awesome....living a great lifestyle....well done!

[Jim Blake]

Great pictures!! Thanks for posting. He's going to be a spitting image of his Dad!!

OK you win! The smiles on the little man's face say it all. I'd say you have a hunter in the making there. He obviously has tremendous opportunities to get out and its clear to me he's loving it.
You're doing a great job with him-keep it up!
