BrAdvice Episode 5: Starting Young: Safe, Smart & Fun Hunting with Kids

With Alberta lowering the minimum age for big game hunters, there's never been a better time to introduce kids to the field—but how do you do it safely and meaningfully?

In this heartwarming episode of BrAdvice, Brad Fenson is joined by his daughter, Adeline, to discuss what it's really like to start young in the world of hunting. From drawing rough grouse targets together to learning the basics of BB gun shooting, this episode emphasizes the value of hands-on practice, safety-first habits, and making learning fun.

Brad shares real-world advice for parents and mentors—like using broom handles to teach muzzle awareness, creating DIY pellet traps, and building confidence through repetition and encouragement. Adeline adds her candid perspective on what helped her feel ready to learn and what keeps it fun.

Whether you're mentoring your own kids or helping the next generation of hunters, this episode is full of practical ideas for laying a strong foundation that goes beyond just pulling the trigger.
