Greg, this is the first year in a long time we had a hard core pattern on anything. My oldest (5) went with me this year, on a morning hunt, no less! We were in the blind for about 30 minutes (about 5 minutes before sunrise) before the first "I'm ready to go"! But we stayed and saw lots of deer, so he had fun and is ready to go again! Good luck on finding that bow deer!
