RE: nonhunting son
As Ed M. said - Don't push him. I have 3 kids ( a boy and two girls ) They all love to shoot targets and trap, but showed no interest in hunting, even though i loved it. It wasn't till my son was 22 years old that the interest manifested itself. Now he and I hunt together (deer) all the time. He was never pushed and made up his own mind. It's a great feeling, but maybe one you will have to wait for to experience. Good luck !
