I'm so glad the state of Oklahoma does this. It's vital that we get these young people off the couch and into the woods. If they don't have the heart to shoot a deer, that's OK. I get it. At least they got away from the Xbox for a few hours and into God's awesome creation.
As a kid, I grew up in the woods with my dad's Marlin .22 rifle. I can remember lots of times, I would camp out under the stars down by the creek behind our house all weekend long, and my folks never worried about me.
I would take some drinking water, vienna sausages, beef jerky and a few other things. Cut down some small trees with a machete and build a small lean-to. Stoke up a camp fire, roll out me sleeping bag and stare up at the stars. Loving every minute of it. I miss those days.
