Hubby & I go hunting together all the time. My son is 13, so he can legally turkey hunt. My hubby and him go alot. Also we have taken him up in the stand many times and he can't wait until next season when he can legally hunt. (Ny you have to be 14) My 9 yr old daughter shoots bow and has gone out a couple times. We all go scouting together a lot preseason too!
