[QUOTE="TNGunsmoke, post: 5503275, member: 10346"] Just take him and spend time with him. If he's ready to go, go, and still hunt back to the truck to do something different. Keep him warm and dry, and make it about the time you're together, watching whatever wildlife is around, and if a deer shows, even better. Talk quietly, but remember complete silence isn't necessary. take binoculars, a range finder, or a monocular and pick apart different spots with them. "See that squirrel over by the hickory tree", "Hey, there's a bunny", "Ole possum is waddling across the field over there", "Look on that tree over to the left, there's a pilated wood pecker". It's more about the time you spend with him than about killing/seeing a deer. And if a deer does show up, shoot it if you want to, let it walk and wait on another if it's early. I had my youngest daughter with me one day(her mom and I are divorced, so my weekend and she wanted to go hunt) when she was around 17. We had shot a doe that morning, and went back for the evening hunt that afternoon. Around 4 a young 4 point came into the field, and she wanted me to shoot it, but it was early and I let it walk after we watched it for a while. A little before dark, a bigger deer came out, and I shot it. Was a big bodied small antlered 9, but it tickled her because we had taken 2 in the same day, and her boyfriend had missed the deer he shot at back in the area they lived. So she got to rub it in that she and dear old dad got it done twice the same day. Some of my fondest memories of her at that age, we may not have seen much, but we had a good time just being together. I'm looking forward to being able to take her children when they get a little older and making more memories with them. [/QUOTE]
