Hunters education ...needs more instructors !

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

I bet there are a lot of greenies signing up for classes and then not showing up. Just to keep a full class of future anti greenies from being able to obtain there hunting licenses.

I would sure like it if there were more options in kitsap county. Im trying to get some young kids into hunting but its just not possible to drive an hour or more for six days aftere work. Poulsbo sportsmans club didnt even host a class this year, as well as sportsmans wherehouse in silverdale. the very few other classes were booked solid the first few nights the dates were posted.

I'm with you. I might do some hoop jumping myself before too long to be an instructor. I doubt it will happen this year, but next year looks good. I would go for the weekend class though vs the 5 nights in a row.

Sign up and teach, you guys. We could use you in the program.

for the guys I teach with, its not about instructors...although several have hung it up with all the new risk-averse and nerf-worlder rules....its about a place to teach.

Since I moved into 2 years ago, its been increasingly difficult to find a place to teach.  ALL the schools are SO paranoid, even about the department non-guns and archery equipment that we cannot get on campus.  this in SHARP contrast to my nearly 15 years teaching in the Sultan school district, although we got moved to the BACK of the campus so as not to scare the sheople.

Now with a few of the businesses that used to support us being GONE...others changed hands and the new owners wanting full house rent, which we cannot afford...we are still looking for a place to teach.  We used to run 12 courses a year with about 25-30 per each.  I ran 8-10 of 30-35 each at Sultan.

We're fortunate in Vancouver to have a trap club and the Longshoreman's union hall to use. The Regional DFW office is also close by, so I would think we could use that if in a pinch.
