Taking a leap

Yesterday I finally did something that I wish I had done years and years ago--signed up for a hunter's education course, the first weekend in March. My excuse is that I was never that interested in guns and shooting until my Junior year of college, at which point I was umm, in college, and two states north of where I would have had to take the class.

Right now, though, they offer them twice a month and as of yet I have nothing better to do...

The only thing I hunt is long pig. And I hope to hell that is game I DON'T get.

I took the class to round things out.

I didn't have to take it here in MO because because of my age. Hubby took it with our son and I plan to sign the girl and I up this fall. She doesn't intend to hunt but I think she should take the class regardless.

I remember our son coming home and telling me quietly that he didn't know if his Dad was going to pass because he was sleeping the whole time! Classic...the guys in this family can't stay awake more than a min after they sit down but he did pass and we got a good laugh out of it.

I wish that it was a requirement to pass high school, actually. Seems that a little bit of education would be good for everyone, rather than lifting firearms onto a forbidden pedestal.
