Redman Report post Posted December 21, 2015 Does everybody know the people that teach the classes are volunteers??? I know a guy that teaches the classes and every year people bitch and complain he doesn't hold enough classes....these are the same people that always wait until the last minute (before the draw or before the hunt). Game and Fish should not allow kids to put in for hunts until they have completed the course, starting at age 9, kids can take the course, so what do the parents do??? They wait...... then put them in for hunts, then the kid draws a tag and the parents again wait until the month before the hunt to take the hunter ed course... and wine about "no open classes".... Just love the "why don't..... blah blah blah"...posts....... why don't you become an instructor.... you can... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's find a way for these guys to make a little money. I'm willing to pay to get the class I want, the place I want, and the timing I want. And I sure most people would pay that for the same thing.

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted December 22, 2015 I would pay also, have to pay for the online course. Funny the most important thing in hunting is a safety course and we can only get volunteers to teach it. Priorities I guess, new american business models , contract workers and volunteers equals zero benefits zero future and big profits. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redman Report post Posted December 22, 2015 ...... sounds like a business opportunity for a few members of this forum.... all one has to do is mentor to become an instructor and then charge and create a business of out it.......not everybody jump at once....
