School is important but quail hunting is importanter

[stumpstalker]

It is surely important a youngster to coached, taught, mentored, and supervised by qualified authority figures. There are schools, sports teams, and vocations for that.

But it is entirely different for a youngster to experience being included in an endeavor with his father and his friends. He garners many of the same benefits, not as someone’s charge or as a subordinate, but as a member of the group, crew, or team.

He will look back on it with a sense of pride and fulfillment for the rest of his life.
