    Its this right here.  I teach Hunter Ed up here in Flagstaff and I work for the Federal government, so I get the hoops that are being required.  There are Federal regulation requirements that have to be met when using Federal money (PR dollars for HE) and every instructor has access to PII.  AGFD got dinged in an audit because volunteers weren't being held to this standard.  Unfortunately, not every volunteer, including HE instructors, understands this Federal requirement, especially when it was just implemented a year ago.  Shortly after that was implemented, the HE program lost 70% or more of its instructors and there are limitations imposed on getting new instructors trained.  I don't know how much of that is because of process and how much is politics.  I have my suspicions, but that's for a cup of coffee.  Right now, I'm only aware of instructor teams working in Flagstaff, Tucson, and Bullhead area.

    I'm working on organizing an in-person class in Flagstaff in February.  It may be my last class as an instructor because I'm getting tired of the politics.

    What specifically are the new requirements for instructors?  Is it training or something more onerous?

     

    maybe I would volunteer to teach a handful a year.

    USA has no chance. Horrible coach and zero player development.

    Have some pride.  They are long shots no doubt but we need to support our troops and athletes.  They should exit the first round.

    Your dead wrong, I was 100 percent ready when I was 10, I killed an elk, javelina and mule deer that same year, I had a great teacher “my dad” who spent a lot of time teaching me how to shoot and use a scope from a very young age 

    Neither one of us are right or wrong.  I said on avg.  I’ll stick to that.   You were ready to rock it sounds like good for you.     Chef was right everyone is different.  Just sharing my experiences.     I’ve seen some guys really push it to a fault.

    Although legal, 10 is too early for big game.   I took my son for Kaibab doe when he was 10 and looking back I wish I waited a couple of years.  .   On avg kids aren’t ready Physically, mentally and emotionally at 10.  
     

    put ‘em in for points and wait a bit.  Taking a life is a big deal.

    I always worked up my loads in the late fall or winter to simulate the temps I would be hunting in. The only animal I shot that was not below 50 degrees was a bear on September 12, 2000 up in South 23 in the early morning @ about 200 yards. I did shoot a Caribou on about September 10th about five years earlier east of Nome and it was maybe 50dgF @ 75 yards. Both with 120gr X Bullets.

    I appreciate the data but I don’t think I’m dealing with a temp issue.  Never been an issue in the past (not detectable anyway).
