Thats great you have taken the first steps of getting your son safely into hunting. I envy you. Mine is just 3, so I still have a couple yrs before its his time. Until then I like to give back to other kids who didnt have the opportunity I did. I dont think theres anything happier to see than a kid shoot his first deer. My friend and I try and recruit new kids every yr and last yr we were 5 for 5 with kids that have never even been in the woods or shot anymore than a 22. This yr we have some new kids but some need hunter safety. Its up to people like us to keep the next generation going. The thing that helps us the most is mounting a cheap scopes on a wooden guns and letting them learn how to find things in a scope. When we started that was our biggest problem.
