Great way to get your son fired up and ready when the time comes
You have no idea.

Ishouldn't even try to describe how consumed that kid is with hunting but it's worth a try. [:-]
He will literally sit motionless in the bushes by his house for an hour ignoring the cold hoping for a shot at a sparrow with his bow. We would get mini lectures about passing up bucks or does each day as we would relay the events of our hunting........then he'd tell us why we DIDN'T kill a big buck. Then he will critique our shot placement on the ones we do kill.
He'll go from running around the basement playing football to immediate catatonic state in front of the TV as a big buck walks onto the screen.
His favorite toy for thetime I was therewas a mouse squeaker call so he could practice calling in Mt. Lions, and he practices "blood traling" his dad who pretends to be a deer he shot.
He was literally in tears at the thought of not being able to go to the taxidermist or the meat processor with us.......
and as you can see, can call turkeys better than many grownups I've heard using his voice.

I've never seen anything like it.
No wonder the kid is like that, his dad has him all brainwashed.

He's going to be a hell of a hunter some day, that's for sure.
