Default RE: Suggestions/comments for taking a 5yr old

I took my then 5 year old son on a spring hunt 2 years ago. The blind is definately a good way to go. I used a blind, and it helped out big time. We had 7 birds in a field in front of us and he stood up and sat down, and counted the birds and pointed at them and whispered to me several times and the birds never knew we were there. As soon as the birds left, so did his patience, so we got up and left as soon as he got bored. I don't know if it's allowable in your state, but you may want to combine the fall turkey hunt with a squirrel hunt when she gets bored. Get up and walk around and shoot some squirrels you may come accross. That way she won't lose interest as quickly. Good luck to you and your daughter!! I also suggest a camera or camcorder, as her first hunt is a big moment in your lives, and is a day you both will remember for a long time to come.
