This is a bit of a story. My nephew is 15 and lives in Colorado with his dad. He and my sister parted ways when he was very young. He has shown an interest in hunting, and has taken his proper classes to get his hunting license. He is going to put in for his general firearm permits for Illinois within the next few days.
His dad is a great guy, and former Army drill sergeant. However, his dad is not a hunter. So, he has entrusted me to take and teach him this fall. My nephew has been taught proper firearm safety, so that is a big plus.
I have only taken my wife and taught her how to hunt. Therefore, my only student was a grown adult that always listens. I am wanting to teach him how to hunt independently. I won’t have the ability to hunt with him in Colorado every year. He will have to find other mentors in his state, if he likes the sport. What advice do some of the dads have to coach a teenage boy that is brand new to the hunting world?
