About Billy Goes Hunting
The children of avid hunters routinely face questions and criticism about the hunting lifestyle they cherish. Billy Goes Hunting is the story of a young boy whose hunting beliefs have been challenged by his peers. In response to those challenges, on a trip to visit Grandfather's farm, Billy asks the question - "Why do we hunt?" - and his Grandfather explains the many reasons behind the heritage, sport and tradition of the hunting lifestyle. Reading this book to your children will allow you as a parent to explain all of these reasons in detail and provide a great platform to discuss any other questions your children might have.
Excerpt from Billy Goes Hunting
Fall was a special time of year. Billy knew when fall approached he would return to the city to start school. Fall was also the start of hunting season. This meant that Billy and his father made special visits to Grandpa's farm. Fall was when Billy would go hunting with his father and grandfather. Hunting was a very old tradition and important to his family. The deer they killed would provide most of the meat the family would eat for the entire year.
