Men from each side of Pennsylvania are joining forces in an effort to help youth learn to enjoy the outdoors
Ray Taylor, 72, of Forest City, in Susquehanna County, created the“Pa Youth Deer Hunters” Facebook groupand Jim Liebert, 58, of Indiana Township, in Allegheny County, operates thePA Hunters Toolbox (pahunterstoolbox.com)website.
The two are partnering to provide information and opportunities for families to better understand and appreciate hunting.
Taylor started the Facebook group because of what he noticed while hunting with his 11-year-old grandson, Sammy Skarupa.
“I hunt with him daily, that’s how I started as a kid,” he said, recalling shooting a woodchuck at age 12 while hunting with his grandfather. “That was everything to me,” he said about times in the woods with his grandfather.

Exposing the Big Game 
There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors without the recreational killing of wildlife, including shooting with a camera. Hunting is not a wholesome activity for youth or family.
Exactly. Why don’t they see that?
It’s disgusting how to hear them casually gloat over the misery they inflict.
Some of the banter I’ve heard:
“I respect the animals I kill every time I eat them”
“I’ve taken care of animals too, I love their skins.”
“Your type just love them because you think they’re cute”
The story over how farmers would shoot eagles because they kill lambs (not that they have, they just do so they need to die apparently). My “favourite” (sarcasm) is the story of how a hunter sat on his porch and shot kangaroos with a crossbow all afternoon with the same arrow – because he was bored. Do they not hear themselves?
Not with normal ears (or thinking), anyway.
