You learn to recognize different habitats - the places where animals live. And you get to see firsthand that the meat we eat comes from animals, not from a grocery store. Although hunting can be fun, it's no game. This is a serious sport where you must always be very careful. Goofing around is never allowed.
Guns can and do kill people.
Look at the two hunters in this picture. Notice that they point their shotgun barrels away from each other. Notice that the guns are open so that they cannot accidentally fire. Like most hunters, these hunters know that the lasting fun of hunting comes only when it is conducted safely and ethically. It s a Saturday morning in early December, and a light dusting of snow covers the ground.
