The hunter's safety course began in New York in the late 1940's as a response to the increase of hunting related accidents. As hunting gained popularity after World War II, there was a need to educate new hunters about safety protocols to prevent accidents. These programs were so successful that they've been adopted across the USA and in several other countries.
Anti-hunting supporters are a group of individuals who believe in the protection and preservation of wildlife. They wish that their wouldn't be hunting in general. They argue that hunting disrupts ecosystems and contributes to the extinction of certain species. They are standing strong against the "attack", advocating for alternatives like wildlife photography and nature observation. They are always striving for a balance between human activities and nature's wellbeing. They believe every creature has its place in the ecosystem. They believe that poaching is also ruling the hunting the world, and that hunters are terrible people.
Pro-hunting supporters view hunting as a means of wildlife management and conservation. They believe that young hunters should take the hunter's safety course so they understand what hunting safety is. They see themselves as the pillars holding up the balance of nature, just like a well-built bridge supports traffic. They argue that regulated hunting can help maintain a healthy population of wildlife, preventing overpopulation and disease spread. They also value the tradition and survival skills associated with hunting, and see it as a way to connect with nature. They stand for their beliefs even through their differing opinions.
I believe that anti-hunting supporters are not right. I have been hunting for many years with my dad. My dad got into hunting through a friend, and then when I was old enough I wanted to hunt as soon as I could. I believe all young teens that hunt should have to take the hunter's safety course around fourteen years old. I will support hunting for the rest of my life, and I do believe that poaching is terrible for the hunting world. Hunters contribute averagly $500 million each year by supporting the hunting public and buying tags, and liscense for hunting. On the other hand, anti-hunting groups have generated more revenue for the hunting world.
Do you think teens should have to take the hunter's safety course?
How old do you think teens should be when they take it?
Do you think hunting should be condemmed or thrive through the world?

Great topic choice and well done Landen! I would like to see you comment back on three different days. This was also posted late.
Yes, if teens are going to own or have a gun in their house or their possession for hunting, they need to know how to use it properly. On the other hand tho, no. Some teens are crazy and could hurt themselves or other people if they knew how to use a gun. They should be 13 years or older. I think hunting is good, it prevents over population, and its good for getting food.
I think that teens should take the hunters safety course because it teaches them the fundementals of hunting and the safety measures on doing. I think that most teens start hunting from a very young age, i think they should be at least 12 years old. I think hunting should thrive because hunting has been part of humanity since the early days.
yes and no because if your going hunting your parents should have already told you how to use a gun and how to be safe. i think like 12-13 years old. i mean your not gonna get anyone to stop hunting they'll just do it anyway.
I think the class teaches younger people a lot. I would take this class if you are planning to hunt in the futer. You learn about everything taking this course.
I think that teens that intend to hunt in their future should take this course. I have taken this test and know that the people running it teach about gun safety in and out of the hunting field. I think that a gun safety course would be a better course to take for the many kids that do not hunt as much.
I agree with you, and I believe that gun safety is very important as well. I think that teens should have to take it if they plan on hunting.
I think that teens should take hunter safety course because then you learn more and make sure we are safe with a gun. We also will learn how to cross a fence safely. I think it we should take it.
I believe that you should have to take it to be able to hunt when you are able to get a hunting liscense. You always need to have a safe, reliable gun.
I personally believe that all teens and adults should have to take the course, it teaches you how to go out and hunt but be safe. If a kid or person doesn't know how to use a gun safely and properly then someone can end up hurt or dead so it is definitely important to know how to be safe before you go hunting.
