Dear Writing Huntress,
This may sound silly, but I am nervous about going to a Hunter Safety class. I am 23-years old and I want to go deer hunting with my dad this year. He told me I have to do a Hunter Safety Education course in order to get my license, but I’ve heard only 12-year olds go to the class. Are there other options? Am I going to look like a dork being the oldest girl at the class?

Dear Writing Huntress,
I’m trying my hand at waterfowl hunting this year and need some help. The only other kind of hunting I’ve done was deer hunting with my 20-gauge pump shotgun. Do you have any basic guidelines for a newbie goose hunter? Is my 20-gauge enough to kill a goose? How do you cook goose meat?

Dear Writing Huntress,
I’ve been bow hunting with a youth bow for the past 2 seasons, because my upper body strength couldn’t handle a full-sized bow when I first started shooting archery. I’m interested in buying a new bow for the upcoming season. I want a full-sized bow that draws back more than 30 pounds, but I don’t know where to start. HELP!

Sincerely,
Spaghetti Arms in Spokane, WA
