Re: new hunter weekend workshop
This might not exactly be on topic but if this does end up happening you should do a decent amount of ethics on each topic ( hunting and fishing) I'd say more towards fishing considering the complete lack of consideration in rivers these days. I might be interested in taking part depending on topics covered.
Re: new hunter weekend workshop
I'd attend for sure. If for no other reason that the chance to meet other hunters besides i'm pretty confident that there's always something you can learn when two or more gather to discuss a hobby. looking forward to seeing what happens with this project.
Re: new hunter weekend workshop
This is what we need as newbies!! lots of us just have no clue what to do next. I have looked for this exact thing and found nothing until now. I can kill the heck outta paper and have had my boys out to shoot too, but I want more... I want to be able to do what my grandfather and Dad could do. Hunting seems to have missed a generation or two! knowledge, mentorship, is needed for expanding the lifestyle/sport unto further generations. if we dont use it we will for sure lose it.
Re: new hunter weekend workshop
I'll volunteer as cook/bottlewasher/headcounter/kid wrangler if my son can come. What an awesome idea. He needs archery - recurve and compound, shotgun/birds, and fly fishing. I know this is a lot of work so count me in for whatever help is needed.
Re: new hunter weekend workshop
Hey Dale, great idea, and perfect for guys like me.
I would be very interested in a course that teaches the basics on hunting. Demographics, interpreting sign, as well as some rudimentary training or knowledge on processing game.
Anything that makes me more confident in being able to find game by leaving my truck :S
