My oldest son is 8yrs old now, and he went with me when he was six in the opening week of bow season here in ohio, only problem i had is when he would fall asleep..........he would move alot like we all do when we are snoozin. A big doe walked right out in front of us while we was sitting in a dried up creek bed i call the honey hole, and just starts twitchin in his sleep and scared that doe to the next county i couldnt help but laugh at him with the druel on his chin!
