He's plenty old enough to tag along. Man, he's almost old enough to hunt. Get him out there and in that blind! The deer season is generally more weather relatedand touchy but I started my lil' guys out sittin' in the Turkey blind since they could walk well enough to make it to the blind. I envolve them in every aspect of the outdoor sports, from running the trail cams to tracking whitetail..... they love it and thank me all the time for the chace to tag along. Best of luck to ya this season and THANKS for passing along the outdoor heritage.
