"One of the things I really enjoy about taking my son out is he gets to appreciate what God gave us and how beautiful our nature is," exalts Bobby Purcell, a member of North Carolina's wildlife commission and executive director of the Wolfpack Club. "It's not all about just hunting. It's more about respecting and conserving nature."

Shawn Meyer, a northern Indiana sportsman and full time youth pastor, though, says it is about hunting and young kids may be "unable to appreciate a hunt that ends without something being harvested," on his web site huntwithakid.

"Five-year-olds and under will get more out of an outing if it's plinking squirrels, catching bluegills, gigging frogs, or blowing a box of shells on doves than if it's sitting motionless for hours on end," he advises. In other words, boredom can be a barrier to hunting too.
