In the class I teach the majority of the course is spent teaching hunter ethicsand how to improve us as hunters image to the non-hunting public who in reality hold our hunting lives in their hands. 10% of the population are Hunters, 10% are Anti-Hunters, and the other 80% are non-hunters who vote and control weather we hunt or not. One wrong move on our part can turn a non-hunter into an anti-hunter. We will never change the minds of the antis but we can prove to the non-hunters we provide a valuable service to the community and show them we as a majority are good law abiding people. Not beer guzzling law breaking rednecks like the anti's like to make us out to be.

The other large part of the course is going over treestand safety. You'd be amazed at the number of people who do not use safety harnesses at all, or do not know how to use their treestands in a safe manner.

Of all the people I have taught in the 3yrs I have been teaching not one said this course was useless. And they all said they atleast took one thing away from the class.
