[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5501722, member: 20583"] I don't have any advice, just a little experience. My dad had three boys and two of us love hunting, fishing, foraging, anything to be in the woods. The third doesn't care less about it and never had any interest.Same parents. Same upbringing. Same exposure. Just different personality. My own son is like him. As much as I hunt, he doesn't have any interest. He loves eating game, and enjoys dove hunting, but nothing else. He tagged a 3pt buck his first and only deer hunt. He was excited, had the shakes afterward, really enjoyed himself. But once he'd done it he was done, no more interest in doing it again. It's just not something he wants to do for fun. So in my humble opinion, you can't screw it up. Either he's going to like it or he isn't. I don't think the first hunt is going to make much difference. I went many times before I ever got a deer, yet I loved just being in the woods. Even as a very young boy I knew the forest was my happy place. My son isn't like that, nor is one of my brothers. It's a personality thing I think. [/QUOTE]
