[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 2106268, member: 1208"] I think the most important part of hunting is to take and teach kids to hunt .I taught and took 25 kids to hunt in Alaska and they all still go 20 years later .I saw today a bill was introduced to prohibit kids under 12 from using or handling guns .Gun safety and teaching kids to hunt are the most important parts of hunting today or it will disapear before our eyes .The kids in Alaska I took hunting loved it and I took them shooting at gravel pits that we could shoot long range .I never made them shoot too big of a gun but they always wanted to try .I worked them up and went from 22s to 243 to 3006 then to my 338 win mag with a muzzle break and my 338-378 weatherby with a break .My most favorite hunt was caribou with one of the kids I took who was only 11 .We finally saw caribou and stalked them for miles . We had only my 338-378 weatherby accumark and he had not my 338 win mag with a brake a bunch but not that rifle . We had a hard if 5000 caribou and I shot the biggest bull I could find at 450 yards then I told him it was his turn .He asked where to hold got prone with a rest and shot a nice caribou at 450 yards dead on its tracks .He shot his first moose at 16 by himself at 300 yards and has shot one by himself every year .I really enjoyed every kid I took and teaching them .I had one kid who shot skeet on the computer and loved it .I took him for real the next day he missed the first two shots and I told him how to lead .That kid shot 80 targets straight before he missed .Take a kid hunting and shooting its awesome to teach them !
