    Thats great! It sounds like your hunters ed is far better than the one offered in IL. Ours is 2 days of classroom and you're done.

    It can go either way, the internet test, a couple day course but I opted for him to take the 6 days in the classroom with a field day test at a local gun club! They do a field test then get to shoot some skeet, should be fun, looking forward to it!

    Here a pic of the boy just after his graduation! He got 100% on his field test!!!!!! Which consisted of a simulated rabbit, pheasant and grouse hunt for muzzle control, fence crossings etc... Next was how to follow a blood trail. The final thing was the trap shooting, he nailed 5 out 7 and was stoked and so was I, not to bad for his first time at skeet! He's definitely a good shot! We then hung around afterwards at the gun club and patterned his shotgun for turkeys, were good to go!
    Then we headed to do some scouting for Turkeys, spent the batter half of the day walking thru the woods looking for birds! No gobbling in the mid day but did locate a flock of 17 hens and 3 gobblers in tow having dinner in a corn field then watched them head off to the roost!
    Next was a little graduation gift I thought was appropriate, picking out his new Bow. He really like this Diamond Razor Edge, were going back today to get it set up!
