I have eight year old twins...by the time they turned six, they had "helped" me hunt two whitetail, field dress a red deer (they held the legs apart while I was working, no hoist to get that size of animal off the ground)...
When they were two years old, they wen to Opa's house and watched the chickens running around...and said "Meat, meat!!"....
They're terribly screwed up I'm afraid.... eight years old, and don't like beef that much...
