Hi mass hunter.I live just outside Boston and have a place up in NH,a couple hours up,and my son is 3.I do alot of scouting before the season and this past summer and early fall is the first time my son has been old enough to scout and hunt(coyotes) with me.We've scouted 5 or 6 times together and hunted coyotes 4 times.Now I cant walk out of the house with my gear,without him running to get his boots and back pack.He has the best time looking through the binos,even if there isnt much to see at the time.I pack up the juice boxs,lunch and snacks ,and out we go.I enjoy seeing him find something,that we take for granted,because we've seen it 1000 times,but hes never seen before,its like Im seeing it for the first time too.Im glad to see so many guys taking there kids out to the sticks at such early ages,these are their formative years you know.Good luck this season.
