#1 thing with little kids is don't let them get cold, or hungry,or thirsty or sleepy and have to stay awake. Don't expect them to sit still and quiet. Make sure they are having fun. My 8 y/o grandson killed his first deer this year. We put in the range time, played a game where he had to put his finger on the spot where a bullet would go with deer pictures. We sat in a blind, with warm clothes on and the temperature was about 45 or so.
Getting cold hungry tired thirsty or constantly being told to sit still and be quiet will get a little kid soured.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I have to agree with Danny for hunting, but around the water have someone else along for a few years.

A rancher lady I worked with took her kids in the car set when deer hunting they bounced along just fine then and liked it a lot 3 years should be a good start if the fire is there feed it.

Never to early to start! My two sons (12 and 14) don't have much interest in hunting/trapping, but love to fish. My daughter on the other hand, loves going hunting and trapping with dad. She is 2 1/2. First pic- she was 6 months old and "we" caught our first badger. Second pic- about 10-12 days ago, hunting "big bucks". That lasted about 20 min. before she got cold and decided it was time to go home. Third and fourth pic- this morning, after checking the 7 sets we have in the ditch behind my house.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

Better to get them interested ASAP before they get girl crazy and lose their minds chasing the girls around better they learn in the cooties years. LOL

My daughter just turned two on November 23, I’ve taken her several times this year. Just have to keep a close eye on her because she wants to pet the puppies lol. She usually gets a good nap in when she’s being bounced around in her car seat on the dirt roads.
