Make your hunts with him be about him!!! Let him be the hunter and you be the helper-at least at first. You will be surprised the little details he will pick up just from watching you-such as your scent control methods. He will want to copy what you do. Do not overwhelm him with dos and donts at first either. Stress safety first and everything else after.

One thing I did remember to add is make sure he is comfortable. Even at 13 he won't be able to sit still forever and if he's uncomfortable he'll move more. Ground blind or box blind are the best places to start as you can get away with the movement.

My plan is a pop up. i think it will be the best thing to use. Mainly as it is public land so no stick built box blind
