good post sir! i am lucky both my kids love to fish/hunt(son is 15 duaghter is 11) . they have all ready decided what guns they would like .my son was given my gradfarthers .22 single shot remington rifle when he showed that he was responsible and deserved it, he was 12 . my daguhter wants a .410 savage single shoot that she got her first squirrles and rabbits with ,she will recive it soon .
this question is a very hard one for some i think .i am glad that you posed it .

i wish all who read this the best of luck with there dicisions. i have willed that all my guns and fishing gear be evenly divded bettween my kids if i should pass before i give them to them. i intend to live a long time .
