I meant teach them both, along with gun safety, because guns are being used to kill others, not bows. But if it comes down to one course, it should be management of renewable resources, with hunting as one of the management tools for animals.

A renewable resources management course probably has a better chance of getting into many schools, due to anti hunting and anti-weapon sentiments, and due to lower costs involved, and the possbible need for additional insurance.

As a side note:

Deer car/accidents averaged $1,500 per vehicle in Eagan, MN a few years ago. I'm sure it is higher now, and all of us pay higher premium rates because of it.

The NSSF stated that whitetail hunters spent an average of $1,500 per hunter in incidentals per year (gas, food, groceries, lodging etc). Hunting of any kind is a big boost to the economy of many rural areas each year.
