Gus Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I would take them out, let them carry the guns and you do the calling for them. Once they hear the gobblers and see them strutting around, they will be hooked and will be wanting to get calls of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY911Bowhunter Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: Intrducing my brother and his 2 kids I agree with teaching them and helping them get started - and this may come off as selfish - but teaching 3 new hunters at once? Kiss your own season goodbye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: Intrducing my brother and his 2 kids maybe you just need to let one of the tag along with you--they can watch you hunt and let them learn some of your techniques as an observer. If they like it then they can start hunting with you or on their own. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7xChamp3 Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: Intrducing my brother and his 2 kids I would take them out before the season starts on some scouting trips. Let them see what it's about without the guns. As we all know there is so much more involved with this sport than the weapon or the kill. I took my 11 year old nephew out last year on some scouting trips and it was a ton of fun. His first trip out we saw some deer and had a nice tom 20 feet away gobbling his head off. My nephew had a blast and is really hooked. Unfortunately, we hadn't drawn permits, so we didn't get to hunt. Actually, it wasn't unfortunate because we had a blast without the weapons. We need to get the kids involved. They are the future of our beloved sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: Intrducing my brother and his 2 kids Ditto to the above replies. MHO is to Have them read books about turkey hunting. Have them watch turkey hunting tapes with you. Stop the tape and tell them your experiences when they have questions. There are sights that have turkey sounds and there are also tapes about calling. Like it is said before. Take them scouting and show them how to read signs and make sure they know to learn the terrain. It will be almost impossible to have all 3 with you at the same time. So I would take your brother first and teach him how to set up and to call. Then once the season starts he will take one child while you have another. Patience will be your best virtue.
