MY BOY IS NOW 7 AND HAS BEEN HUNTING WITH ME SINCE THE AGE OF 5. I WOULD TAKE HIM ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR, PLUS TAKE HIM WITH ME WHEN FILLING FEEDERS AND CHECKING CAMERAS. I BELIVE THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE WILL KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME. WHEN I FIRST STARTED TAKING MY BOY I JUST PLANNED ON BEING HERE FOR MAYBE AN HOUR OR SO. TO HELP THE BOYS OUT TAKE A DVD PLAYER WITH HEAD PHONES OR A HAND HELD GAME WITH A MUTE BUTTON. THIS HELPS THEM PASS THE TIME WHEN THINGS ARE SLOW.
BE CAREFULL AND GOOD HUNTING.
