Cody. I am going to take my son to hunter's ed:Even if I didn't have to I still would.Actually I have been looking for one for about a month now and no new ones have been scheduled.He has to have the course to be able to go Turkey hunting this spring and hunt.He has been going with me since the second grade and not shooting. I think your missing my point.

I'm not saying my kid is different.Maybe he is a little differnt, he's been in the woods since before he could walk. I used to carry him in a back pack.Giving your kid a bottle in the middle of the woods is a great experience.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>CharlieP, answer me this, statistically speaking, what type of hunter is the most dangerous? <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote> The one that doesn't treat his weapon like it's loaded at all times.

Let me ask you a question.How many of the kids you get in class already know how to load,unload and shoot safely.Have been shooting a bow for 7 yearsin league's and in the backyard.Have already helped track over 15 deer.Know deer sign and what it means know how to read a topo map and can use a compass?

I am not saying hunter's ed is a waste of time.If I thought it was why would I consider becoming an instructor?
