ALAMO -- Twelve aspiring young hunters got their hunter education earlier this month.
Many of them have already tried hunting a little bit with their families, but in order to get a hunting license, if you are under 18, you have to take the 16-hour hunter education course.
In three sittings, with teacher John Apachito, the students learned how to hunt elk, deer and bear, as well as gun safety and proper hunting etiquette.
After taking a test, they were rewarded with patches to put on their hunting attire, and a combined whistle and compass.
Roger Apachito looked longingly in his textbook at the .22 rifle he would like to get, while cousins Remy Secatero and Lehmer Ganadonegro planned on hunting elk together.
“Now you have a big responsibility” John Apachito reminded them, before letting them out of the classroom, into the woods.
