Boredom is not always good. Really not good to force young ones to sit still while bored (not just hunting). If I need my son to sit still with me for a period of time, I'll bring his gameboy and let him play for a few minutes at a time.

The way I look at that is that ifsomeone gets so bored still hunting when nothing is moving that they start to loose interest, there is always a choice that can be made to try and go find something, even if it is not the same game animal.

Personally, I was never able to sit for long periods of time when I was young. Now I can do about 4 hours max. I have done the all day thing in the past, but it's just not fun to me.
