At least you had fun. That's what should be taught anyway. Killin' is only a small aspect of a successful hunt in my opinion. Bringing in all the experience during the hunt and enjoying it, is the thing I like about it. Glad you and your son had a good time. One tip I have is to go to an area and sit there for about 5-10 minutes and the wildlife will go back to normal. Usually when I come into a spot, the birds, chipmunks and squirrels quit moving as much and then move about after things get quiet.
Have fun out there.
