When one of my girls was taking her Wyoming hunter safety class the instructors brought in a road killed moose and gave a demonstration on gutting. I thought that was the best hands on training exercises ever. No political correctness, just good practical instructions. Has anyone else ever heard of a hunter safety class doing this?
that is awesome.
I think back to my first mule deer ,some 40 years ago. can't believe how green I was.my dad was not a hunter so ,pretty much had to learn on my own. when I killed my first deer I was with a friend who had hunted a lot. good thing he was there ,because I had no idea how to gut a deer. I had gutted fish and rabbits so I could have winged it and gotten by but it was he who showed me how to do it correctly.
not all newbies have someone to show them the ropes.
that's is part of why I like taking youngsters out on their first hunts and a good part of why I help those I can on this site.
kudos to all that endeavor to pass on their knowledge to the youth.
