I have taken my daughter in my bow stand for early bow season a couple of times in the last two years. She seemed to enjoy it but she did get fidgity. The best bet is to try to take them out for shorter sits. When I do bring home a deer she is all over it. I think someday she might like it better. She is only 7 and other games are more interesting. I would say take her and sit what is the worst thing that could happen (one night of not seeing anything) or you could have a new hunting partner.
