I've taken mine when it was in the 30's but about 2 hours was all they could stand it.

As a low. Unless youth are super-pumped about going hunting you don't want to make the experience unpleasant. Sitting still for hours in sub-freezing temps is unpleasant for most children.

Last year opening weekend (gun) it was like 17 and me and my boys (7 and 9 at the time) went. We sat for 3-1/2 hours eaery time we would be ready to leave, we would see another deer. I think those sightings were a help in them staying so long.
Dress them for the temps and have at it, they will let you know when it's time to leave. When it's time to leave, then leave, don't pressure them for 5 more minutes. Make it a memorable experience not one of misery.

I will agree. I almost ruined my daughter by hunting in unfavorable conditions. This year she said she wanted to go this Saturday. I will talk her out of it, 8 degrees Friday night. She is 16 now she has not hunted with me in 4 years.

Took my 12 year old nephew last year when it was about 26 and had him bundled up apparently too good because after sitting in ground blind for about 15 min I heard something and it was him snoring!
