An excellent film on teaching the next generation by Peter Dafner of PD Safaris. Great European scenes of Peter teaching the young fellow.

Love the film! I recognize my own youth so much though my father wasnt hunting but fishing. The time you spend with your father like that out in the woods is so priceless it cant be described with words.

Great film and I could not agree more. I spend a lot of time with the kids in the bush and we all love it. Camping, four wheel driving, fishing and hunting is always time well spent. Was away last weekend with friends and one of the dads brought along an ancient air rifle that was completely knackered but the kids all had a ball even though it was hideously inaccurate. We even took them on "Safari" chasing an Indian Myna which no one hit but they had a great time, many potential stalkers in the making including several girls who were all better shots than the boys. Had a spit roast over the fire in the evening which the kids all helped with as well. Great stuff.

Glad to see two replies at last. Probably got twenty on facebook ....
Thanks guys fro your comments.
Had a chat to Peter Dafner too. Met him at the Heym International Challenge a few years ago. Tagged him and he responded. He is a fb friend. I will go and retrieve his comments if it is possible and put them here.
I believe I mentioned, how these sorts of times especially for a young son or daughter is what they remember for the rest of their lives. I certainly do.
One doesn't have to give a kid the latest flashest expensive firearm when the child is eight or fourteen. Or thake them to hunt their first water buffalo or elephant in Africa ... I find those sorts ridiculous and spoiling their kids, leave them ambitions for their own future to work towards. But taking the kid out for a bunny hunt, or a duck hunt, or just tracking some animal in the mud for fun, in the sunshine or rain, is remembered for their whole lives.

Quite agree, we go mushroom picking a lot which the kids love and I bought my daughter Jazzy (10 years old) her first mushroom knife from Opinel. She was wrapped and uses it really well. Also bought her an old used mushroom basket from one of the markets which she caries very proudly. When we get home we cook a variety of mushroom dinners but her favorite is oven roasted mushrooms on toasted sourdough for breakfast, or sometimes we cook them in the forest were we are picking. Great fun.

Nothing like fresh wild mushrooms. Leave supermarket ones for dead.
