If it was my wife you bet I would and yes I did when my son was growing up and learning to hunt. My son was always involved in picking his spot to hunt and in setting up his tree stand but so was I. When he was young I hung his stands because I wanted to make sure that when I came to get him I didn't find him hanging from his harness. Not only that I used to stand in the dark under his stand until he was settled and strapped in. I was there in case he dropped a glove or anything else that I could retrieve for him so he wouldn't have to climb back down out of his stand and then back up. I made sure that his beginning experiences did not turn into an excercises of frustration for a little boy and to help him avoid all the mistakes I had already made in the past. And I do take the fish off of my wife's hook and I did always wake up my son when we went hunting. He is grown now and very self proficient and an extremely good hunter bow or gun.
