Hunters Education

Last Monday I took a big step in my Living With Wildlife class. A major portion of my grade is based on my participation in Hunters Education. This includes a written test as well as a shooting test. One of my good friends let me borrow his .22 for this adventure. He took me shooting a few times for practice, so I took his rifle to take the test. When I got to the range, my instructor took a look at the gun and asked if I wanted to use one of the rifles provided. His reasoning (logical) was that the guns provided had scopes and the gun I brought had open sights. While it was a tempting decision, I stuck with the familiar rifle. I had another instructor come by a few minutes later and ask me the same thing. Still, I stuck to the familiarity. Imagine my delight (and the pride-boost) when I got 27 out of 30 (15 is passing) and the highest score out of everyone there (that I saw, anyway.)

Definitely boosted my pride.

Anyway, long and short...



So, now I'm blogging about it while listening to a passionate DWR officer tell us about bail amounts for hunting citations... I should have stayed at work if I wanted to know about bail...

Stay tuned...
