Default RE: Need advice on helping new hunter

I feel for you as I have had similar experiences with new hunters.For the most part simply being patient with them and encouraging them is all that is required.Once they are successful at taking an animal,their self confidence grows and their skills seem toimprove even more quickly.One individual that I started out huntinggot soexcited that hespent probably 30 seconds trying to break the trigger off his rifle because he had not released the safety.However he had a great attitude,andover the pastfew years he has become a decent hunter and in time he should become a very good hunter.I have only ever had one hunter that I couldn't help and that was because he never really wanted to hunt and just wanted to go along with the boys as a social outing.Despite the efforts of myself and others ,he became frustrated and simply lost interest and gave up hunting.If she has a good attitude,just keep at it and things will come together.
