To answer your question, i would say its a process, which around here begins well before they are teenagers. My son started paying for some things when he was 10-11yo. I do run a small business and a farm so work opportunities are readily available around here. The kids have been working with us in the orchard since they were old enough to tote a basket of peaches or a watermelon. Joseph has been going on treejobs with me since he was 11-12yo. They both buy alot of their personal type stuff already. I just make sure they have the opportunity to work and make the money to buy those things.


Ok. My Son who is 19 and works 7-12s and will only hunt with me a handful of times this year, needs to PAY A MEMBERSHIP FEE just because he's graduated Highschool? In our club if a child is out of school they're considered guests and have to pay the guest fees, however your spouse or children can hunt with you the last 2 weeks of the season

Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!
