The Hunter

These kids think that hunting is so easy. Well, I told them that hunting skills were no walk in the park. You need three things to be a good hunter: 1) Silence is Golden, 2) Accuracy is key, and 3) A fool traps himself. So now that they have the rules, these "hunters" practiced each art form. First, they practiced how well they could be silent. This was done easy enough because the professor had worked with them on that part. He taught them that silence was important if you wanted to not let your enemies know where you were. They displayed this by silently walking up to the back of the head hunter, and gave him a wedgie. We all laughed, and the head hunter gave each of us demerits for it. We had to do KP duty for a while. The next important thing about hunting was the accuracy. The other hunters set up target practice for the kids. Each was quite accurate, except for the one who emits water. His hands were rubbery, so he missed the target entirely. For him, he needed only the right environment to have good target practice. This was achieved by simply having him shoot at fish in the water. Finally, the trap setting was a little hard for all of them. They needed a lot of help to achieve this. The problem they had was the camouflage and bait aspect. They did not cover the trap well, and the bait was too far out of reach. I corrected them, and they soon had it. So now the boys were ready for true hunting.
