Is very happy to see the support of mentoring adults in the field. There are so many programs out there that support mentoring and youth hunting introduction. In Colorado you can be a Huntmaster and basically you are mentoring youths in the field. That's done by the division of wildlife. Boyscouts, Yhec, Venture groups, NRA marksman, and alot of other groups supporting and helping young hunters into the shooting and hunting world are a great added bonus. But most learn right there at home by their hero's mom and dad.

Personally I've taken it to as many levels as I have spare time for. Friends of the Nra youth range days, Boyscout ranges, and personal friends and family children that are interested in hunting or shooting I will make sure they get that opportunity. They are our future. I'd rather take children hunting than anyone else. Nothing beams brighter than a childs eyes after a great day of being in the field.
