New Hampshire Hunters Pay back by Helping to Teach Hunter Education

Being a hunter myself, I would like to ask all hunters to follow the Rules for Safe Hunting


Control the muzzle of your firearm at all times. It should always be pointed in a safe direction. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded and ready to fire!


Be sure of your target and look beyond, before you ever raise your firearm, or draw your bow.


Wear Hunter Blaze Orange to make yourself more visible to any other hunters. And for sure never assume you are alone out in the woods.

Adam, Thank you mighty kindly, for your kind words! You sure are mighty welcome! I have always felt that folks should always give back to their communities and the State they live in.

Judi, it sure is an important education! I have only lived in one State where I had to take it. I could not believe it when I got told that I had to take a Hunter Education class, and found it mighty funny, seeing that I had been hunting sense I was 6 years old, and had just spent the last 5 years in Vietnam.

Donne, Thank you mighty kindly! the answer to your question is, I have never accidentally shot any living thing as I was out hunting any kind of four lagged animal. A couple of things about my hunting and shooting.

I served for 5 years in the deep jungle of Vietnam, I served in the Special Forces, and held a Sniper Rating. The other thing is, after that hunting with modern day weapons just was not fair for the animals, so I started using Bows and Muzzleloaders. Plus I limit myself to not taking a shoot over 50 yards. I also only hunt by tracking. I have actually taken deers at 5 yards with my bow, and my muzzleloader rifle.

Debra, Thank you mighty kindly! I don't know of too many States these days, that don't require for hunters to take a Hunter Education class. Usually it has to do with the year they are born in. And its not the same part of time in all States

Howdy and evening to you Carl and Ceil   

I sure do appreciate having y'all stop by, and to having y'all sit and visiting for a spill. And to read and write a reply back to the comments, that y'all have been so mighty kind to take the time to write and leave on this blog post, and the other blog posts here at my little ole New Hampshire blogging homestead, my friends


Carl, it sure is! it sure is a mighty fine way for hunters to paying back to their community and their State. Its also a fine way to help show that not all hunters are bad. That's part of the reason I'm doing these blog posts. Just about the only time folks ever hear about hunters, is when so called hunters have gone off and acted dumb.

Donne, a muzzleloader is the kind of firearm that Davy Crockett used, its any firearm into which the projectile which is usually round ball and usually the powder charge is loaded from the muzzle of the firearm (i.e. from the forward, open end of the gun's barrel). This is distinct from the more popular modern design of breech-loading firearms. The term "muzzleloader" also applies to a marksman who specializes in the shooting of Muzzleloading Firearms


Modern muzzleloading firearms range from reproductions of sidelock, flintlock and percussion long guns, to in-line rifles that use modern inventions such as a closed breech, sealed primer and fast rifling to allow for considerable accuracy at long range.

Muzzleloading is the term used to describe the sport, or pastime of firing muzzleloading firearms. Muzzleloading firearms, both antique and reproduction, are used for target shooting, hunting, historical re-enactment and historical research.

The Muzzleloading sport originated in the United States of America in the 1930s, just as the last original users and makers of muzzleloading arms were dying out.

The sport received a tremendous boost in the 1960s and 1970s, and a flourishing industry manufacturing working reproductions of historic firearms now exists in the United States.

In more recent years, most states in the United States of America have now added special muzzleoader hunting seasons for big game hunting, the amount of revenue this generates helps boost those states economy.

Donne, you sure are welcome, and I'm glad you have been enjoying reading these blog post about hunting. I spend the whole day out in the woods today. Today was Deer rifle season opening day. I'll be covering even more about hunting.
