I took a 7 year old hunting and we managed to see 18 deer. 15 doe and 3 bucks. I don't know how since his excitement would spill out of the blind, hand jesters and pointing. He could spot the deer with ease and did not try to go to sleep even though we got in the blind early. He spotted a nice 8pt just 20 yards from the blind. He had his first experience using a pee jug. That was funny! Hunting with him was a lots of fun and I will be taking him again. It was an awesome morning!
