RE: hunter education and why it is important
Well my son' s class was last Sunday, he passed with flying colors.
My opinion still hasn' t changed, it has a purpose, but they didn' t teach my som anything that I hadn' t already taught him. The people that taught the class were very professional, and did a great job. Should everyone have to take one? Yes.
Here is something that I found very interesting. A couple DEC officers came in to explain some things about the law. They said it wasn' t the greatest idea, but they had no problem with a father letting his son/daughter shoot a deer and tag it with the adults tag. As long as the kid wasn' t carrying their own gun, they would never ticket the Dad.
