Hunters Safety Field Course

 

My day, Saterday

8:30
 (a little later...) We left the house to go to the field course!

8:42
 I remembered I had left my tag and my other thing (just a obscure thing LOL) at home!

8:44
 Back on our way...

Around 9:00
 We got to FWP (Fish Wildlife Parks, I think) and went on our way to register...

About 9:30
 Everybody who was in the same group as me had to go get our guns... *clears throat* I mean "firearm" LOL, my group went to each persons car and watched them take out the gun... some people had shotguns, or, most did... only two of us had a rifle, me and a different girl.

Beginning of field course
We started at a gate... (BTW, my instructor for the field courses name was Frank Ewin) Mr. Ewin posed as a farmer, Farmer Frank, who is "working on a fence", and said "Elizabeth (myself), how do you ask me permission to hunt on my land?" I said something, then he said "You say, 'Hey! I'm Elizabeth (and shake hands), do you need any help with your fence?' and I say (him still talking)  'Sure, you can help by holding up the fence for a minute..." and so on. Then he said that none of the houses exept the FWP was there, the FWP was Farmer Franks "house"...

After getting into "Farmer Franks" property, we went to a fence, (BTW, I am not using my own hunters orange, it is Anne's, I got my hunters orange yesterday!) I am the far right one, which we had to cross over, this is me crossing over by myself... I am putting my gun under the fence, with my hat over the end.


After that, we went over to were the far right group of orange is, and crossed obsticals, then, after that, we went and walked a little farther,

See the deer? There is 3. We moved a little bit, so that if we were hunting, we could have shot it.

We moved on and had a "real hunt", the first three people went, then the next three people, then myself and another boy. There was a "cow elk" (fake) and I had my turn up to shoot, I chose not to shoot because it was on a horizon and you couldn't see what you would have shot, other then the cow elk. The other kid chose not to shoot, too.

After that, we walked to the next place. Where there was a bear! (not a real one) And so we talked about bears and what to do if you are attacked.

We walked a little more (in fact, we walked the whole time! LOL) to the next place, were a turkey was! All of us exept one thought it was a good shot, so we talked about turkeys, I had a .270 with me, and he was commenting that it wasn't a good gun for turkey hunting, because there wouldn't be any meat left...


After that, a girl and a boy went "duck hunting" just for a example. Here we are all lined up on the trail, when they were about to go. (the ones without there guns are the ones that was "duck hunting")


After that, we went to were the FWP people park, and a game warden talked to us, and asked to see our "tags"


After that, we were showed were to tag the big game animal, then we went and sat down, it was about 12:00 by then, after that, we went and shot bb guns and then put our guns away and got our hunters ed. certificates.

And after that, we went to Walmart, Albertsons, and Big Bear, and got home about 3:00!
