Growing up in Northern Minn, I remember my shop teacher giving us safety classes in hunting, and tips on how to trap muskrats and beavers.
Hell, the first job I had that paid an hourly wage was driving a forklift for “Anderson Lumber Yard” when I was barely 16.
Oh Lord for the good old days.
Outdoor survival, including hunter's safety (resulting in the card needed to get a license), was mandatory to pass junior high when I was in.
