If I were to hear of LB or BB getting their noses dotted with blood I would probably spontaneously combust. I'd forgotten about that being done after your first big kill. In the the town where I grew up, they publish pictures in the paper of kids with their first deer. Yes, blercgh. Oh sheesh.

However when she gets to be 12+ and sees all the little redneck boys around here wearing camo and hunting and having their nose dotted with blood when they make their first kill - who is to say she won't think it's the coolest thing ever? You just can't impose your views on kids, but you can continue to make an example for him and hopefully goodness will prevail. Hunting makes me sick to my stomach. Blercgh.
