Teaching Kids To Hunt

20 December 2007

Posted by Darrell under: Rantings Of An Outdoorsman .

Matt, over at Bright Idea Outdoors Weblog, is getting ready to participate in a seminar about getting kids interested in hunting. I don’t know all the details, but apparently Kevin at Huntinglife.com put the seminar together and Matt is expecting to talk to 100+ adults over the weekend (which is happening sometime in January).

Matt has been seeking some ideas and thoughts from sportsmen with experience hunting with kids. He is looking for any general thoughts about hunting with kids:

How to get kids interested in hunting
What age to start with them
What game animals to start with
What weapons to start with
The impact on hunting to your family life
Any other tips or ideas
Pictures of your children hunting (and permission to use in a slideshow)

We all know that the children hold the future of hunting (and the outdoors) in their hands. Anything that we can do to positively influence children and help them cultivate a love for the outdoors will help ensure healthy game populations for the coming generations. I applaud Kevin and Matt for giving their time to such a worthy endeavor.

I’d venture to guess that every single one of us hunters has experiences with children. If you don’t - well then shame on you. You should! So, why not help Matt out and send him some ideas or pictures that he can use in his seminar presentation.
