I agree with the ground blind suggestion. Bring snacks and drinks. Bring something to keep him occupied-coloring books,toys,video game etc. You have to make it fun. keep it short. If he wants to go at any time( even if its 10min. after you get there) You need to go. Making him stay longer than he wants is a sure fire way to turn him off to hunting. Have fun with it and enjoy these times cuz they dont last long!! GL

ground blind for sure. also if you are a long hunter take something to keep him busy when he gets bored. I will be taking my son this year for the first time. he is six
we went scouting and took the pop-up ground blind and saw some deer too. but he did get bored after about twenty mins of no activity. I will be taking his nintendo ds for when he gets bored.
