I take my little brother out with me all the time whether its deer turkey pheasants ducks anything...he really enjoys it a lot. To tell you the truth this past spring i was more excited when he got his first turkey (which was with me and not my dad) then if i would have killed it myself.. I think that they truly enjuoy the time i kno i did when i was about 4 (now 16)when introduced to the sport.
