Say Hello to Another Generation
« on: March 05, 2022, 04:12:47 PM »
Just wanted to give a shout out to the group of youngsters (and a couple of adults) who finished hunters education today to become the next generation of hunters. I know a couple of other members kids and grandkids were in this group as well. Pretty proud dad moment and I think most of the parents were more nervous than the kids. The sport will die with us if we don't keep passing it on, so make sure to keep taking the next generation to the field to enjoy hunting and fishing.
The best friend a guy could have asked for. RIP chasing pheasants in heaven Denali girl.

Congrats!  Great to see.

At risk of sounding like a boomer :P we all did Hunter's Ed in 7th grade where I grew up and even got 5 days of excused absences during hunting season.  Putting Hunter's Ed in school would be a great way of keeping the future generations outdoors.

Yes Awesome to see. That’s our future right there. We took it at school when I was a kid but I think it was on Saturday and was an extra thing you had to sign up for. Have a friend who grew up in north eastern Montana and he said it was a requirement to take in the fifth grade. I definitely think kids that don’t already grow up around it would be better off these days if they had to take a hunter safety course and possibly an animal husbandry/butchering course so they actually know how to safely put food on the table or at very least know where it comes from and how it gets to their table.

That is a feel good story for a proud papa I'm guessing.

My daughter just turned 6 and plan on letting her shoot for the first time coming up. She’s been afield with me bird hunting and out scouting big game with me a bunch. I’m excited for her to start learning firearm safety so we can go afield together. Congratulations to these youngsters and kudos to the adults for stepping into unfamiliar territory.

Congrats to your boys on their success!

My son just turned 7 and I think we will try to get him through the class this winter. My daughter is now 9, but chose to not hunt this year. I'm hoping to get her and her brother on their first turkeys next spring.

Letting them choose I think helps my youngest was happy to get a turkey , and a very very large rat snake lol but he said he wanted to wait on deer as he wants to be stronger in his words with rifle I said ok and didn’t bring it up again , he also got the biggest turkey between us all and reminds us constantly  ha so he has some growing to do his older brother never gave up during deer season and not only did cams and door knocks all summer he never waived from giving his goal was a legal buck with a clean shot . He did it and couldn’t be prouder
