Hunting with Kids
“I hunt with my kids, so I
don’t have to hunt for them” is a quote that has been pinging around FB; I even
heard the quote used in a wedding ceremony recently. As the 2012 hunting season gets underway, I
think it is a good time to acknowledge the importance of teaching our kids how
to hunt. Even if your kids aren’t of the
hunter temperament, I think it is important for the kids of Southwestern
Montana to take Hunter’s Education.
Learning gun safety and
survivor skills in a classroom setting helps to solidify those concepts that
parents teach at home. Signaling for help and how to properly handle
a gun are necessary skills for our young community members. The great outdoors is literally right out our
back door and knowledge is power. We can
protect our kids from harm by providing them with the proper information.
Hunting is a way of
life. It is sustainable legacy that I
hold sacred. Hunting with my father,
with my brother, cousin, husband and friends strengthened those
relationships. Filling the freezer with
lean, wild game is almost as exciting as chasing a bull through knee deep
snow. I pray that hunters respect each
other and the law in order for a safe and fruitful hunting season.
And remember as you head out
there this fall, that there are 12 year old kids having their very first
experience of stalking, sighting and harvesting deer, elk, and antelope.
