Using deer hunting as a modem of introduction to hunting for a youngster is probably NOT the best option. I started my daughter out with turkey, duck, and goose hunting. Motion and noise were not that big of a deal and birds are a bit more forgiving than deer. I could see the birds from a long ways off and tell her to get ready and be quiet cuz here they come. It worked to a T. I had to laugh though at the nonchalant look on her face when the camera panned around to her. She's like "Meh", what's your problem?
