About the best advice so far. Don’t overthink it or complicate it. It’ll turn your son off of it. Hunter safety, zero weapon and be comfy with it, find a patch of WMA or NF and trompt around. Find bedding, edge, water, food source. Look for sign in mid to late October and hunt over it.
I love hunting suppressed. Last 10 or so deer have been with a Rattler and SRD762ti. 110 gr. Barnes Vortx. I have had more drop on the spot kills with this setup than any other bow or rifle.
