This Fri. my 9 year old daughter is attending a school field trip called "Enjoying the Outdoors" at a nearby state rec area. 4 sessions are scheduled to teach the kids a little bit about:
A; Fishing and boating safety, basic fishing, fish id, lures, presentation, and cleaning.
B; Hunting and trap shooting, habitat, species, equipment, methods, id, prep and cooking.
C; Beginning archery, equipment, target shooting, hunting
D; Waterfowl hunting, locating, decoys, calling.
I want to skip work and go with her so bad that it would almost be worth listening to a bunch of 4th graders honking away on the duck calls.
There will be lots of demonstrations, a large fish tank with many types of fish, a bunch of huntin dogs, a large teepee, lunch and a snack.
This is being put on by the Nebraska Game &Parks Commission, with certified hunting safety and aquatic instructors. Other sponsors are Berkley, Cabelas, Coleman, Ducks Unlimited, Innotek (will bring dogs and training equipment for demos), Lays Potato Chips, Pheasants Forever, the local Natural Resource District, and the Pepsi Bottling of Norfolk(local distributor).
It is great to see so many people getting involved in helping teach our kids about some basic American ways of life, and not the liberal save everything crap that you come to expect from education in this country. If you get a chance, thank some of the companies that make it possible, I know I can't thank them enough.
