Yea he's seen me cleaning and cutting up deer since he was probably about 4. H3ll last time I whacked some chickens he stood right beside me and handed me the next bird in line to be whacked.My son cleaned his first dove and fish at four I think. So you and granny should both be good. He hasn't turned morbid yet. We'll not to me anyways. Now pearls son, now my son, he kinda scares me. He seems to enjoy it to much lol.
