Petey, the only one that is going to know whether or not he is mature enough and capable enough to do this is you. Everybody is different. I was hunting at age 6, and my dad left me alone to hunt with a single shot .410 at age 7. Meanwhile, I have seen kids today that I wouldn't want around me with a gun at age 18.
All I have to say is good for you and your son, and good luck. I hope that I can do the same thing with my daughter and son when they turn 6, assuming they can handle it. Of course, I think my wife and I will be debating whether they can handle it even if I think they can handle it.
