Copper, it sounds like we are in the same boat. I have two boys also 6 and 4. I have taken the oldest boy out for the past two squirrel seasons, the first year just to sit and watch and let him see and experience the woods, and the second year I was actually going to let him shoot one, but never got one to stand still. However, after the hunt, we (myself, my son, and my father)set up a can and he hit it all three times he tried with my father's .22 rifle. (I was very proud, but I think my father was even more proud). This year, if the weather isn't too bad or if we get our hunting shack built, I am going to take him doe hunting. Also, I promised my youngest son that I will take him squirrel hunting for the first time this year. This is the first season in a long time that I've been this excited about. Take them hunting and have a great time. Good luck.
