I see the point, but agree with Claydog. What a thrill to be guiding your offspring when they 'get' an actual trophy animal although about any animal is a "Trophy".
I remember quite vividly my younger daughter - age 7, shooting her first ruffed grouse and then cleaning it. She used a 12 bore ZULU 1890's era 12 bore 2 1/2", 1/2 ounce 7 1/2 shot loaded with about 55gr. of 2F Black Powder.
I was so proud of her. Gets me all melancholy just recalling it.
I agree with this line of thought..would be MUCH happier to see a son or daughter take it vs me..I have killed enough..time for a new sheriff in town...and what a way to keep them hunting forever..
