Mother's concern

Without knowing your son you would have to be the one to make the final call. But if he has always shown good judgement and typically learns from his mistakes then let it be a learning experience. Truth is if you forbid him from hunting he would prolly slip around and do it anyway. As far as liability that's a tough one. Since he appears to be ok just let it go and you can focus on why it happened. If he said to you that he thought he could have died then he got the message. At his age he's going to assume that any one older than him has more experience. That's just not the case. Impress that on him and that no one is out there looking out for him but himself. That's a spooky spot being on someone elses horse,around someone elses dogs with people that have paid to have a " good time". Glad he's doing ok.
