IM 13 years old for another month or so and i have been on about 10 hunts and all have been painfully unsucsessful. but i stick with it because im convinced that my luck ill change when im with my bow.

Mine are 6 and 8. I'll take each one of them out in a ground blind to watch and perhaps get a shot, but mostly to just spend time with each other doing what I love. They enjoy it although my daughter (daddy's girl) is the one who asks more. It's some of the most enjoyable times in the field.

Man your all making me feel like a hard azz. I take my boys and have beenon and off of various hunts, outtings, scouts...etc..since they both turned 2... my oldest actually started at 18 months believe it or not.

I dont let them take stuff to play with, I tell them up front if they want to go they have to be a big boy and be still and quiet until dark. I do have them help call and glass, that keeps them interested. I do not take them on long outtings though..3 hours max for the most part if we are sitting.. Hiking thats a different story. My six year old will hike half a day no problem..and hes continually gettng better.

They must like it, because they take it seriously and love watching animals and are both willing to sit for a couple hours now with no complaints. They are NOT ready for all day sits..most adults arent actually! LOL My oldest complained one time and I sent him home, he hasnt since.

We whisper and look through the binocs and practice moving slowly. They really get into it. I feel kids are capable of a lot more than we give them credit for sometimes or expect of them.

One thing's for sure....it's definitely hard to keep the attention of a kid that age. Good Luck!

I can't tell you how many times I played a gameboy in the stand!! I played it when I started to hunt with my dad and when I sat alone. After he let me sit alone he would still sit in a climber 400 yds away in plantation-cut timber, so he could see me in my ladder stand. Those were the best hunting memories i will ever have!! I can't wait to take my 15 month old daughter hunting!!
