Introducing kid

[k burke]

Morning all,

Haven't been out yet this season so I'm trying to figure out the best times for action so far.

I'm looking to get my 5yr old son out with me this Sun. for his first hunt with me. Since he's young his patience is short so I hope I can time it so it's most interesting for him - ideally at least a bunch of gobbles. Just looking at the Turkey Success thread it looks like most people are getting lucky later - round 9 - 10. I imagine that's also the time of good gobbling which would work out well since he's blown me off before preferring to sleep in!

Thanks,

KB

If possible get a ground blind. It will help to keep him concealed. My kids are 7 and 10 and their heads bob around to get a look everytime a deer, turkey or critter comes by. They still don't get the concept of sitting still, they get too excited. Bring a blanket in case he gets cold and if he has a gameboy, or an ipod, BRING IT or he will get bored and beg to leave by sun-up.
