Another Bowhunter Ed Class in the books

[DonBo]

Chilakoot Bowhunters hosted their annual spring Bowhunter Ed Class last Saturday. 42 students, including 17 women attended the one day class.

Marlene, our lead instructor is a retired teacher and a natural born educator. She really does a nice job of keeping things rolling along so no one (even the experienced bowhunters) gets bored.

Todd Amenrud from Wildlife Research Center is always a big hit. He gave an hour long seminar on scents and vocalizing.

Todd was so interesting that he was a hard act to follow. I taught some basic equipment info along with "The shot, and after" "Blood Trailing" and "Tree Stand Safety"

We finished the day with an impromptu turkey clinic and ended up shooting arrows at our outdoor range.

Yes, it was a beautifull day for fishing, but it always feels good to give something back to the sport.

Hey Don, is this class available for kids, My son who turns 10 next spring would love to attend, I would probably sit with him. Would the information be way above his head?---for next spring's class.

Thanks

Kids actually have to have completed a Hunter Safety Class (minimum age 12) in order to take this course. We had three 12 year olds at this class.
