I have three kids,two boys and a girl. The oldest now 15 showed not much interest until the age of nine, after that he got eat up with it and loves to do nothing better. I use to take my daughter (NOW 13) when she was younger, we had some life long memories and alot of fun, but she has other intrest more important to her. I still give her the invite once and awhile, but she is not interested at the moment. Im starting to ease my 7 year old into it now, he is at the, i cant hold still age but i take him on fun hunts not the serious ones, where he can just see and appreciate wildlife till he gets a little older, and just have fun with it at the moment. if yours end up not liking it, i would not sweat it, to each his own, support them with what ever they do. all three of mine ALL have other intrest to. enjoy them while you can, it seems mine are growing up WAY to fast.
