I have to respectfully disagree- here in the midwest, we have a lot of problems with deer on the roads- the whitetail herd is immense - not to mention the "hillarity" that ensues when a deer gets lost in a suburb during morning rush- We have removed every other thing that eats deer from the landscape, and they like to breed (cant blame them there) Note that I feel that if one is going to hunt, one should either eat it or donate it to a food processor that donates the meat (we have several round here) - and while I am at it the antlers and bone makes great knife handles...... Seriously, its either let people hunt em or have the fish and game cull them- or let them get creamed by semi's ( saw that once, the deer actually seemed to explode) oh, and if its not a semi, you can get a serrious accident/fatality- Oh and to address the topic, I feel that 8 is ok as long as the mentor is competent and the kid has gone through the class and passed it......
