Hopefully at least the feeder will survive.
I feel bad for him, as nobody likes to see effort go up in flames (figuratively or literally). All is not lost though.
I understand that he's 10, but now might make a great time to help him refocus on the joys of just being able to appreciate and experience the outdoors...instead of letting him fixate on something that may develop a seasonal anxiety issue.
Best of luck to him this season.

I'm really sorry to hear that your child had such a disappointing experience. It's tough when something they were excited about doesn't go as planned. It might be a good opportunity to teach him about resilience and problem-solving, helping him come up with solutions.
Don’t take this wrong. It would be an excellent time to teach him about hunting other than sitting over corn.
Shit I've been hunting 38 years, in that time I've SEEN three bucks I would call "NICE". (and they wouldn't be very impressive in most places)
A shame about the material loss of gear, but habitat wise it's good in the longer run. Where I hunt is going through that now, recovering from logging. Great habitat for the deer, but an un-huntable mess. 20-25 years from now it will be great, but I won't.

Gear can be replaced. Bucks will come back… he will get an awesome one… maybe even this year.
Fire brings new grass and critters come right back.
Sucks he lost stuff he worked hard for. But it’s a good lesson on the real meaning of Build Back Better.

Well good news is depending on where you are your going to get some good stuff coming back if you manage it. Good time for a food plot or an oak planting.
