Hunter Education

<< < (3/3)

I personally think all people heading in to the field with any type of weapon, should be required to take hunters ed as well as a firearms / weapons safety class prior to them being able to buy a license. I also think the age thing is lame. EVERYONE should have to do it.

I think anyone heading to the field/woods for the first time should take it regardless of age. My wife grew up in a hunting based house and took it for the first time this year with our daughter and she enjoyed the class and the instructor.

didn't monroe high school make it part of the graduation requirement?  I find that to be a really well thought out idea and a great way to reach kids who otherwise might never be exposed.

I am old so didn't have to take hunters ed however the poor hubby had already taken it twice in WA and once in Idaho with our boys so I opted to take it with the youngest on his second attempt...it was cool....I got an honorable mention for getting 100%  :chuckle: but guess what I was all out panicked and freaked to shoot that part was terrifying and I actually did not have to I was that scared... seems like a long time ago but was actually only 3 years ago.... we were taught to shoot as kids and guns in my life were downright scary....now not so much but even before I decided I could get over this fear I was adamant about safe handling in my house and around me....been around way too many careless people with regards to guns, sad to say but they seem to be the majority  :dunno:
