I have taken my boys bow hunting and late muzzleloader hunting for the past couple of years. I hunt the urban doe only hunts in October and they love tagging along. Shot a doe the first day out last year and I thought my 7 year old was going to jump out of the tree he was so excited. My 5 year old fell asleep last year and his snooring cut down on the number of deer I saw - but he had a good time anyway. I put up a 10 foot ladder stand and then hang a portable alongside it. I climb the ladder right behind them, strap them in, and then step over to the portable. Works quite well. Had a doe and her triplets come in close our first day out this year, but I didn't get a shot. Oh well, my son was still excited. Take a kid hunting if you get a chance!
