I took my son his first time with me he was about 4-5 and he sat with me in the blind. Did a pretty good job of listening to what I needed him to do too!12.5" SBR Grendel - Need Barrel

Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.

At three, he won't remember hunting and he won't be hunting. You will be babysitting in a stand. If you are hunting, you won't be making memories with him so much as you will be hunting with him as an aside.
I understand you only see him a couple of times a year, but telling him to be quiet and sit still for hours at a time isn't building memories.
If you do take him out, then be a responsible adult and get him some hearing protection.Kill a hog. Save the planet.

I absolutely would not take a child that young.
Keep in mind too, if the child ruins everybody elses hunt you may never be invited back.Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.

I was taken hunting at that age and I took my children at that age. However, hunting has been a way of life for my family for generations.
Under your circumstances, I would spend the time with your son doing something you can focus all your attention on him. Go on your hunt by yourself and be a knowledge sponge. Get a few trips under your belt and your son a few more years mature then take him with you.
I commend you for wanting to take him. The more people exposed to it the better it is for all sportsmen.NRA life, GOA life, SAF, and TSRA
