High school wild game butchering class
« on: December 16, 2019, 10:49:59 PM »
An online acquaintance from an Alaskan hunting forum recently did this..... Would be cool if it could be done here in Washington.

Just far enough on to the dry side to get away with it. If you live in Ellensburg and something like this bothers you, you must not realize what all those fields full of cattle and sheep are for. Glad the kids that don’t hunt are being exposed to where their food actually comes from and how to properly care for it.

My daughter loved it because she had been involved cutting/wrapping up her deer and elk a dozen or more times and the teacher is a women that is one of her favorite teachers. I was very surprised when she came home and told me they butchered a buck in class

There were teachers in Curlew and republic that did that 10 years ago. I think Inchelium still has a teacher that does it. Jerky making and such too.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

Bringing your own specimens to biology class should always be a plus.  Parents may wish to visit the teacher first, some need a little help.

Hunter Education class would be appropriate, but it doesn't even cover basic field dressing of game animals or birds.

That is really cool,  I would have loved that. I took a meats class at walla walla community college and we butcherd half a cow,  but never got to do any wild game.  Probably my favorite class I took.

A day or two ago when I was in 8th grade, I took a beaver in and we disected that.  That was Rainier (in 87).  If I get a nuisance job to align right, we have arranged to take  beaver in for my daughter's sophomore biology class and my son's 8th grade science class this spring.  I am sure here will be some hub-bub, but i bet it will be an overall hit. Those are here in Granite.  I have also loaned out tanned hides and beaver and otter skulls to a friend for her grade school class's previously.  We will do that again this year too i bet.  The kids loved seeing them.  That was a private Catholic school.
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

goats would be the perfect animal for a class like this,  then perhaps once the goat is butchered each student could do a rabbit.

Good stuff!!! We had a teacher here in Goldendale that would give extra credit if you brought deer/elk hearts in for the class to study.

I don't see it happening here anytime soon.  Nearly ten years ago I was involved with a hunter ed. class that used a pig for the demo.  The animal rights, and anti hunter crowd heard about it, and we had to get the sherriff involved.  Thankfully we were at a private club, and could keep them away from the class.  It was decided that we wouldn't attempt that again.  :(
Hunt hard and shoot straight!
