Hunters Education

Well, unlike my beautiful wife, I suck and updating my blog. and that is why no one ever reads it. but such is the way it is.

On April 2nd, the day after my the glorious celebration of my 30th birthday (I hope you all enjoyed the festivities of such a well recognized event). I started taking the Washington State Hunters Education Class. It's mandatory for all people who want a hunting licence if they were born in or after 1971. So I'm taking it with a few adults and about 30 11-14 year olds. It's not too bad, but a little basic and aimed at kids so it can get a little tedious. Today we went to the shooting range, and and got to practice and demonstrate many of the "skills" and safety techniques that we have learned. One kid had a real issue with muzzle control and got kicked out of the class for letting the gun roll towards me and ALMOST aimed a live gun at my head! I moved, he got nailed, no problem. Except it is a major violation and it was done.

So I finished the range day without any problems, and now I just have 1 more class and test night and I can officially go hunting. my goal is mainly waterfoal and upland birds, but turkey season is this month so maybe I'll go. so that is what is keeping me busy, it's good that it is almost done.
