To each their own. I was taught hunting was meant to put food on the table.People say times have changed and food is available everywhere.I agree there is but it isn't the healthest lifestyle choice best suited for me, nor do I want my kids to reley on it as well. When I take my kids out its work. Its teaching safety, identification strategy and alot of teaching and plain hardwork.There is alot of crap that has to be dealt with in the bush, maybe more so than in the real world and I want them prepared for anything. In order to do this and
keep their interest I want them to taste success as well.Time in the woods is for preparation for a safe and successful outting.
