Congrats to your son and you. I brought out my 10 year old nephew last season, his first year, and had a jake at 20 yards but he hesitated and the bird walked away. The second day my brother and I put a nice Tom in front of him at 15 yards and the same deal happened. He claims he will shoot this year. I hope so because sleep deprivation isn't fun when the turkey walks away. All in all though it's great to be in the outdoors with a kid, teaching them how to hunt and live without the electronic devices. At least for a little while anyways.
