Title: We get to go April 2-3!!!!
Post by: wisconsinteacher on February 25, 2011, 08:16:19 PM

I just got the email and we are doing our Learn to Hunt April 2-3. This will be my 4th year taking a kid hunting. The first year I called in two toms and only one got to run away. The last two years, each kid has missed nice tom. I have a young man in class that loves to hunt but comes from a poor family so I am hoping he gets a crack at one with my new gun. It would be cool if he got first blood with it.

I will be honest, I almost walked away from taking kids hunting a few years ago. I felt so bad about the kid not getting a shot one but the last minute of the day he got one and missed. As we were walking back to the truck he looked up and saw an eagle and said that makes the day worth it. Two weeks later he sent me a coin with an eagle on it and a thank you card. That proved to me that it was worth it and that I need to relax and let the kid have "his/her" hunt and have fun. We always grill out for lunch and have a great time. I also carry more candy bars and pop than I should but it is my job to see that they have fun. I am pumped up now.

I did my first youth hunt last year, wow was it a blast.
It was 2 brothers and they shot this one together. It's a memory they will share for a lifetime.
