Up here in Alberta youth hunters and first time hunters have to take a hunter education course as well as have a Possession/Aquisition licence for firearms. I am a member of a large province wide group that has a large number of youth that never get a chance to experiance the outdoors. I took it upon myself over the last couple months and several to come to get certified as a hunter ed instructor as well as a fire arms safty instructor. I am also taking a range officer course so I can access the local range so I can give the kids the experience of shooting bows, small and big bore. Nobody showed any interest in helping or stepping up to the plate over the last couple years. After I get the ball rolling and interest starts to peak along comes some dickwad instructor from the local college trying to take over and run the show. I was donateing half the proceeds back into the local office to support youth programs and this dickwad just wants to cash in on the action for himself. This dickwad has instructed the Environmental Science program for the passed 30 years never donated any time to our youth but now that theres some pocket change to be had the leaches come out of the scum pond. Needless to say I'm a little pissed and just had to vent.
