Default RE: Taking children to observe deer hunting

Take her out! Take some snacks and books or games for her, keep her warm and comfy, and try not to let her get bored. I think boredom and cold are big limiting factors for kids getting into it. I used to take my nephew out with me, now hes 16, and for the last two years my son has come with me, hes 4 now, and will tag along every time I let him. He got to sit next to me and watch me take a turkey last year, and was more excited then me, and that really hooked him. I plan to take him along to our deer lease later in the season on a few evening hunts, and maybe he can watch me take a doe, if one comes out. He went a efw times last year, and got to see me miss a doe,lol he had to tell everyone daddy missed a deer. I cant wait till hes old enough to shoot on his own, and understand hunting enough to take his first deer, probably about two more years, hopefully.
