My son is 5 1/2 yrs old and I wanted to see about taking him with me some this spring gobbler season. This will be his first time in the woods hunting. I already know that keeping him quiet will be a problem. (only time he is quiet is when he is asleep).

I have a pop up blind that we will be in so he can move some and will be OK. I figure on him paying attention to the lifeless woods for 5 minutes and be ready to go. (No turkeys here dad, lets go home and watch Sponge Bob)

I want it to be enjoyable for him though and teach him some of the skills needed to be a great hunter and woodsman. So what does everyone do with their kids while on the hunt?

I figure a small chair for him, snacks, drink, a DS game or something to keep him busy when things are slow. I do wanna keep things light to carry.

Any tips or recommendations from you guys?

Thanks

Dave
