Here is a great article from Mossberg on Dove Hunting with your Chilren:
Dove hunting with kids can be some of the best fun you’ll have to kickoff your hunting season. Youth dove hunts can also be a straight disaster, one that can turn from a fun day in the field to nothing but silence in the truck on the way home, if you aren’t careful.

I certainly don’t want to put pressure on you, but as a father of two boys smack in the middle of learning how to hunt, I can attest that what kids think about hunting, how they feel about hunting, and the memories they will have about hunting, is predominately connected to who you are and how you operate on any given hunt. Everything I’m about to tell you I’ve experienced. This is first hand knowledge I’ve learned while introducing my sons to the heritage of hunting.
