RE: We need hunter safety in the schools
Our high school offers a class that includes hunter safety and the trapping thing too. Can' t remember to much about the trapping end. But the class went over many different aspects of the wild life in our area. We even got out of school for a day of fishing at a local farm pond. We then cleaned the fish in the ag shop the next day in class. He even showed us how to clean a pheasant in the middle of the class room. Towards the end of the semester, we had a wild game cook. Had rabbit, pheasant, buffalo, deer, goose, duck, dove and the fish we caught. As of last year the class was still offered. Our local NWTF chapter donated $500 to purchase some kind of gun training aid. Not exactlly sure how it works, but the teacher was more than appreciative.
