[QUOTE="killingtime 41, post: 5501697, member: 22774"] Just wanting some of y’all’s input. I know it shouldn’t be rocket science. I’ve taken my boy that’s 11 Dove hunting since he was 4.bought him his own shotgun at 8. And that’s how I started out the hunting world myself. So I figured t do the same for him. But back in the late 80’s and early 90’s when started hunting deer with my uncle.it was a muzzleloader. I asked lots of questions he showed me how to measure the powder at the right grains. And load the bullet. And put the # 11 percussion cap on. And said you go one way and I’ll go the other. I was about my boys age now. It would worry me to death to go about it like that with my son. Back in the day the old dudes didn’t seem to worry about half as much with the kids as we do now. But yet not seeing deer didn’t frustrate me. Cause there wasn’t many to see. I learned along the way and killed my first buck 4 years later. Meanwhile it was all public land we hunted then. Now all I have for the most part is public land to take my son to now. And over here in East TN you go more days of not seeing anything than you do seeing deer. And I don’t want him to hate it. And be bored and not want to hunt at all. Cause as we know the first year will either have him hooked or not. I struggle with trying to find the best spot so he will at least enjoy the experience. And so far that has cost me to not take him at all. Even though he hasn’t really pressed the issue either. Sorry for the long read. But little advice would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
