Yikes! Just what we don't need is a bunch of novice hunters in the bush. Another reason to stay indoors.

 

[Tips Up]

For our sports and passions to survive, we need participation and younger generations coming up behind us to carry on.
I'm happy to hear it. Take on mentoring a novice to keep the bush safe.

While waiting on the Public School System to figure out online teaching... My kids are competing their Pleasure Craft Operator Courses and CORE course.
Learning real life skills!

Given the present risks in the food supply chain, should fishing and hunting be given essential travel protection?

Getting young people involved with the outdoors is a good thing. We are the ONLY animal on the planet that would see a huge population decrease if we all had to fend for ourselves like all wild animals already do well. Not only would most of us starve to death not being able to source food...but once the sun went down each night most of us would be petrified of every little sound coming from the woods and would never sleep. Pathetic when you think of it....and I'm including myself in this if it got that bad.
