Good Hunting for Kids: Growing Up to Be the Best Hunter You

Hunting is one of the most awesome things a kid can do in the outdoors. It teaches you all sorts of things—patience, stamina, how nature works, and where your food comes from, among many other things. But how do you grow up to be a good hunter when so much of the world today doesn’t seem to understand hunting at all? Written and illustrated by Allen Morris Jones, author of the classic A Quiet Place of Violence: Hunting and Ethics in the Missouri River Breaks, Good Hunting for Kids: Growing up To Be the Best Hunter You Can Be walks the new young hunter through basic rules of safety, talks about bowhunting, rifle hunting, and bird hunting, and describes some of the North American birds and big game animals you can hunt. Finally, and maybe most importantly, it talks about ethical hunting. As you grow into a lifetime of hunting, what does it mean to be a good hunter?
