Show shows to 7th graders in science class

[conibear1]

I show the deer and deer hunting shows to my students during our 2 week deer unit. I try to have it start just before deer season. Over the last 5 years, girls that deer hunt, at least in my classes, have increased in numbers! They equal the boys now!! I love it!!

Thanks for what you do!

Welcome to the D&DH forums, Jeff.

So, you're a teacher and you're promoting hunting in your 7th grade science class? Way to go!

You've reminded me of a science project my son did in 10th grade. He opened a deer's heart, nailed it to a board that was cut to fit into a cake pan, and then he labeled all the parts of the heart. Then he covered the whole thing with cellophane. That teacher was impressed.

I agree, we definitely need more teachers like you and schools that will support this. I can remember growing up I attended my gun safety class through the school. Why this isn't done in schools these days I don't understand. There would be a lot less gun accidents among children if they were taught about guns and gun safety at a young age. Again, great thing your doing!

I teach in a rural school in Pennsylvania and I have a bulleting board in my classroom that is the Braggin Board. I have all kinds of pictures after deer season is over. The kids love it both boys and girls. I also have over 1,000 magazines from deer and deer hunter, buckmasters, Rack, North American Hunter and so on that they borrow and read everyday. Keep up the good work.
I teach geography and I always do some stuff on the Golden Triangle and states that have great deer numbers for hunting.
We used to have an activity period and during that time I would have the Hunting club. We would talk about PA regulations and show hunting DVD's. I am inthe process of trying to get Archery in the Schools for my middle school.
