Start them young!!


Recommended Posts


How young do you start your kids off in the game, i think good social conditioning is the way forward!!!!!

 

 

6 months is a good age to start i think!!!!!!!!

ive had my son out with me and dogs since he could walk, now hes 2 1/2 he screams the house down on the ocasions he cant come.

I was out a few weeks back and my kelpie pup caught her first rabbit which we carried home in the basket under my baby buggy; in which was my son aged just over eight weeks. Incidentally, I'm also a teacher and I try to get as much pro-hunting information into the children I teach from Nursery age to Year 6 (eleven). I once did a ferreting demonstration to a class of Inner City Reception children, that's four and five year olds! Four years on and I still get one of them regularly accosting me in the playground to tell me about how many rabbits he caught with his Grandad at the weekend.

I wonder whether thats on the national curriculum?

I 'm sure some busybody will have an opinion on that at some point, but keep at it..

It's amazing how much of it you can squeeze into the National Curriculum and Early Years Curriculum eg argument texts for and against fox hunting and food webs featuring foxes killing sheep and chickens. I had two eleven year old girls in my class last year, one had a pet rabbit and the other was a vegetarian. We had an ongoing joke about it which involved them sneaking onto my laptop to put up a picture of a cute bunny with a pink bow and me keeping a toy plastic rabbit on my desk which I regularly pretened to kill in various ways. All good clean fun! :whistling:
