I agree with Kevin's methods. It's never too soon to start training as long as the pup has interest. He's right too about mental maturity. I wouldn't take him on live hunts until he I thought he was able to handle whatever cards were dealt him from a mental standpoint. As for taking them out to the woods and exploring, I don't like to walk them a lot. I take a chair and sit in one place and allow the pup to explore on his own and learn to get back to point a on his own.
if your always moving he will spend more time paying attention to you than exploring. The first few times he may not venture very far, just don't pay him much mind and he'll get bored. JMO.
