If I had kids I would take them out with me and have them watch and learn my techniques and hopefully others that I have picked up before they are old enough to handle a weapon.
That's the way I was taught and I taught my son! Even today he will find something in the woodswe never dicussed before and if I don't know, we'll do a research on it! He's 28yrs old!
Like you said the first level of skill. Now if I had a buddy that i wanted to teach how to hunt and told him you are just going to watch the first year or so to learn the woods and such he would probally just stay home.
There so many hunters like that! They think hunting is to just go into the woods with the popular weapon and when you see an animal, shoot it! That's just plain Luck or there are so many animals that every where you look theres one!
But if I put some cool stuff in his hands he would probably come out and that is where I think if he had great equipment it would make up for his lack of skill. Thanks for answering the extra questions for me also!
Yeah, but how proficient is he with that cool stuff in his hands? Would you trust him not to accidentlyshoot you?
