[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 114237, member: 3373"] Congratulations to all of those who get involved in working with youth in any form of outdoor activities. When i was growing up most of us had family that we could learn from. Not necessarily the case any more and that's too bad for some of our youth. Have worked at the State Fair a few times in the NDGF Shooting area and I can assure you that there are a bunch of kids who just light up the first time they get to shoot a gun, even a pellet gun. The really neat thing at the fair is you will see just about as many girls wanting to shoot as boys. Have never worked the fishing section at the fair but it is usually very crowded as well. The next time we hear about a kid we know doing something wrong, instead of blaming the kid or his parent(s) what if we ask ourselves "Maybe if I had taken the time to take that kid shooting and hunting or fishing this wouldn't have happened." It won't always work but it certainly couldn't hurt. If any of you have the time or energy to help out a kid, think about it. It might be good for both of you. [/QUOTE]
