Hunting is for all ages. My grandson Ethan was happy about being able to feed my daughter dinner Sat. Night on him. I was blessed with an outstanding son in law that was by Ethan’s side the whole time he hunted his first Turkey. Ethan can help skin deer but he is still Not hunting deer this coming season. I was 12 my first year. Froze in the Pine forests of Fort Bragg. So, Wayne at 7 you still hold any record I know of. The first deer I killed was at 16 with a 1968 T-Bird. 460 rocket.
