This is the statementI foundmisleading...itstates that a hunter safety instructor "can't be expected to be responsible for your child", when in fact this is not true.

The state itself expects that it should be a commonly accepted practice otherwise they would not allow it...and they would not publish a form expressly for the purpose of confiming it's acceptance.

The state created these "permission" forms expresselywith the expectation that these volunteerswould beresponsible for the children's supervision.

"Can't" is an all inclusive term...either they "can" or they "can't" and in this case the answer is they is they "can", and they actually "do".

That is why I thought the statement was being misleading, it implied that Buckeye's expectations were not in line with commonly accepted practices within the state of New York. In fact his expectations were very much in line with those of not only the leaders of our state,but more importantly those of the leaders of our states fish and game departments.

I simply did not want him to get discouraged from seeking another instructor that would in fact supervise his son for the short period of time required to finish the hunter's safety class.
