What it will do is keep that kid interested enough so he/she will go again AND will be more interested in learning why -- if it is your personal or club goal -- that management is important and the hows and whys of it.



Exactly right. They won't care anything about going if you make them just sit and watch deer every time. They can do that on TV.
