Thread: Rabbit shooting around or near Rodney, Auckland.

Hi everyone,
Would anyone be able to put me onto a land owner who would let me bring my young Daughter out to shoot a few bunnies? She is 7, and has been hassling me to take her deer shooting for the past couple of years. I think it would be better to ease her into hunting by letting her come out and see the old man pop a couple of rabbits, rather than take her out for a full on deer hunt ( Blowing over a deer may freak her out for 1st time) See if she can handle that for a start, dress them take them home for the pot. Give her a skin or two to keep.

Jeese, Deadidick shes keen!!!!!!.........sorry cant help, but welcome to the forum.......and been bugging you for TWO YEARS......Jeese!!!!!!!

Yes she is keen alright. She has seen deer, pigs home kill etc hanging up in the shed since she was a nipper, and hates being left at home when we head out for a shot. I told her she has to learn to keep quite is the first lesson of hunting, she thinks I'm having her on.

My 7 year old girls problem too, never stops talking. Even in her sleep!

Same as mine - this on the first time i took her deer hunting.

Me: Be quiet and don't move or you will scare those deer.
Her: WHERE ARE THE DEER - I DON'T SEE ANY?
*We both listen to sound of 3 deer running off through the bush*

My youngest was about the same shooting rabbits. And it didn't stop after I shot the first one, she was talking to it as she carried it. Was still keen for me to dress it and cook it too.

Start a thread in the Varminting section and you'll likely get a few more views and responses.

Take both my daughter's duck shooting oldest is seven and the youngest four. The four year old asking me to take her deer hunting. They both have cleaned up ducks

Start em young is good fun
