Took my son deer hunting for the first time last year. I'd told him what to expect.....watched shows with him (and told him of the reality...or LACK thereof).

I'm guessing he was in the stand.....Ohhhh.....MAYBE an hour.....and he came down. "We're not gonna see anything". I just laughed.....and got him in the blind with me (He was in a climber....and I was kinda just watching him.

We sat there for about 30 minutes.....and all the while I'm telling him that he HAS to learn "patience". I could have just as easily been speaking French......until the 4 does hopped into our set.

Thank you God.

We didn't take a shot......but the presence of those does did more for MY credibility.....and HIS excitement/eagerness to go hunting again......than any verbal lesson I could have ever taught him. He was a great partner the rest of the season. YES....kids need to see game to keep their interest up. GREAT point.
