RE: We need hunter safety in the schools
I know that here in Va when I was in jr. high we were taught hunters education during PE class.. we also had a achery chapter as well... then once in high scholl we had archery every year in PE..(too bad they wouldnt let me bring my own lol)
I think that it should be offered in every jr. high Make parts of it such as gun saftey and maybe wildlife managment mandatory but they other sections covered could be elective in the case of someone who did not wish their child to hunt (not that I can imagine one person who doesnt like to hunt or want their kids to either... maybe its just the crowd I hang out with lol). But atleast teach all youngsters about firearms and saftey and about wildlife managment..maybe the managment part would help those people who are undecided about how they feel on hunting see why its needed and shoudl be valued..
