When did you first get your hands bloody?

Growing up on the farm and also at the butcher shop i cant remember the first blood on the hands, but after seeing it all the time i do remember gutting my first deer at 10yrs old all by my self, and i think that was the best way to learn.with nobody standing over you shoulder, but only after you have seen it done a few times.
 
I can remember stompin thru the timber coon hunting with my dad when I was 4 or 5 and my own first kill and clean was squirrel hunting about the time I was six, I remember dad making the cuts then tossin 'em to me to skin and dress 'em.
 
Geez, this taxes my memory. Must have been 4 or 5, before my 1st hunt anyways. Remember running out to the garage when Dad returned from a hunt, so I could learn how to clean squirrels, rabbits and dove.

I laughed till my side hurt when my little sister drug a "pet" rabbit into the house...and Mom had to clean the blood trail to her room. Mom didn't think it was as funny for some reason.:p
