The way Frank Jezioro, director of West Virginia's Department of Natural Resources, sees it, there are just too many distractions from hunting for kids today. "When I grew up, you didn't have video games," he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "We have an obligation to see that these kids have exposure to the outdoor world and if they like it."To that end (and also to help reverse the $2 million decline in hunting license fees) the state is considering offering hunting training in schools. The author of this post lives in West Virginia, and while he hates the deer menace as much as the next guy, he's not particularly jazzed about swapping dead-eyed, callous-thumbed gaming youth for an army of pint-sized killing machines. In fact, one could argue that sounds like a terrible, terrible idea.
