As we all know not every one hunts and not every one gets a chance to hunt.
Especially the children.
In my family when i was growing up at the age of twelve i got my first hunting license. it was more of a rite of passage for me. My father started me out on squirrel and deer, and ive enjoyed the sport ever since.
Now i know it would take a lot of major contrubutions and volunteering but i think we can pull it off if we try.
If we could start an annual Teach our Youth to Hunt program that could be done during summer break from school.
this is what it could include.
1. A hunters education class (seeing as most children will not have done this)
2. Fire arms and Archery saftey Class.
3. A ethical class on shot placement
4A. Tracking Class
5. A Camp Out
6. A Fishing Class, and Fishing.
7. A actuall Hunt for hogs varmits what ever.
8. And much more
This could be a week long event more likea summer camp type thing.
We could select the the lucky canidates through a essay contest of such.
Grant it this is the type of project that would take lots of man hours from the volunteers to help out doing. and I am sure we could get a local game warden to help give the Hunters education class.
Donations we could set up Water bottles for donations to help make this happen and it will also be a tax write off for those bussiness that donate supplies.
I would be more than willing to spend my vacation time to do this for our future hunters. as i know many others of you would also.
I know others can help us make this a legit and legal proccess as all of us come from diffrent Job skills and such.
Does any one wanna try to make this happen. we could shoot for next year on this that would give us plenty of time to get organized and get the support and donations that we would need.
Thanks for reading this and cant wait to read your comments.http://texashoghunter.com/images/images/forum/emoticons/think.gif
