My family immigrated here from a city in another country and therefore cultural integration for me, like many other immigrant children was "unassisted" by our previous generation. My father did not take me hunting, for example. I have, however, grown to love the outdoors, and developed opinions about the American industrialized food machine, and also a fondness for marksmanship. Michael Pollan's book "The Omnivore's Dilemma", and MeatEater Steven Rinella have nicely verbalized thoughts which have been running through my head on Hunting and trapping in that it is one the most ethical, and compassionate way of sourcing meat, and a way for us, as people to better connect with nature and our past. I'd like to find ways to get into the sport and wonder what good ways to get educated are beyond the Basic Hunter Education courses.
For the hunters and trappers here, I'd love to hear about how you learned to hunt, who taught you, and what hunting and trapping means to you? Pretty open ended. If I've not done a good job thread-searching, and this has been brought up in the past, happy to read any links.
