I know of no other way to say this politically corectly, so I will just say it as it transpierd.
My wifes sister who is 11 years old on the 5th of this month, who insadently scord a 100 persent on her Hunter Education class the 15th of this month; my wife only scoring a 92 on her test. My sister inlaw's name is Robyn and for some reason I keep calling her my neice, i guess since she is so young. When I related the events that hapend this spring terky season I referd to her as my neice erently. Sorry for the back story, i only included it so you all would understand the falloing.
Robyn is my wifes half sister. They share same mom but diferent dad. Robyn is half white half black. Robyns dad comited suicide in jail when both his daughters were young. kayls was 6 months old and robyn little over a year. So they being raised one parent. Not the end of the world.It maters non to my wife and I about that Id give my life for robyn and her sister Kayla with out hesitation as I would for my son.
Robyn who had expresed interest in hunting couple of years ago started to learn how to shoot last year and after shoing remarkable acuracy and responsability with a fire arm i took her on this spring youth terky hunt. She and my wife took the hunter ed class this month together since my wife told her if she wanted to she would. Now robyn does not know if she can actually bring her self to shoot a deer, deer being so cute and all and smart looking. BUt she garonties me that she would have no problem shooting a terky. That was befor the hunter ed class. On the way home from that last week she said if i can sit wiht u one hunt where you shoot a deer I might be able to shoot one my self. So we made plans to do out first week of archery hunt next month. Her mom aproved it all was great. Then we get a call this morning from my mother inlaw stating the falloing. Robyn does not want to go hunting with you or any of your friends ever. I asked what brought that on. I got this reply. Robyns grandfather( the fatther of the girls dead father) told robyn last night apon hearring that she pland to go on the archery hunt with me to watch a deer harvested. Said to Robyn that you dont want to go hunting wiht Michael and his friends because they shoot black ppl when they are hunting. That we would only shoot Robyn and leave her lay in the woods to root and be eatten by wild animals.
This is where I nead help. I wont talk to her grandpa because i know I will lose my cool. I dint know her grandpa was such a anti hunter, in talks past he would ask how we could stand to eat wild meet; inlew of store baught properly prosed food. Nor did i know he was a racist. I have conveyed to Robyns mom that there grandpas i no longer welcome in our house. I wont have eather a racist or a anti hunter taht resorts to scare taticks to get his grandaughter's to give up hunting. Kayla was just starting her familirization with fire arms for next youth spring terky season.
RT now Robyn does not want to talk to me or my wife.She was so shooken up by what her grandfather told her last night that Robyn mist her first day of shool ever in her life. I kid you not Robyn has hade perfect atendence ever since kindergarden and has had a 4.0 grade average ever since grades are kept. She just enterd 5th grade
I had to waight to cool down befor I could even type this out. Else it get deleted by site managers.
What makes me so made is not lossing a hunting partner. But Robyn really smiels when she is on the rifle range. Having a mother who spends more time in the stress ward then out each year. Who does not see the point in her youngest daughters to do school activitys or thinks its a waist of monies for bicycles and stuff. Natalie and I have taken it apon our selfs to make shure they have as close to a chield hood as posible. We baught them 3 speeds to ride for there birthday presents this year since the bicks we baught them a few years ago had been taken back by there mom for the monies. So this time around the bickes stay at our house. So since robyn is interested in hunting I have/had pershased her hunting clothes and gear. For her birhtday this month We got her a marlin 22 semiatomatic rifle that I did custome job on the stock for her. Which her mom already tried to take back to the store for the monies. Changed the locks we did, i had no idea my mother inlaw had a set of keys to our house. Lukilly jakie considers any deer her daughter shoots as extra food so she is all about her going hunting. Ans since we are covering all the costs. So no monies from her wakky tabackie fund is lost.
I know im arrinng familie skelatins but had to so you all will understand this next question. the question this has all been leading to. What do I do? My sister inlaw wont talk to us rt now, so we not have a chance to ashure her that under no sercomstanses would any of us shoot her while hunting or at any time. The monies we invested into this up coming hunting season is no big deal. I just trully hate to see Robyn stop doing somethign she was really good at and enjoyed, the shooting part of the sport. As long as she does not forget how to shoot the Marince Corps is going to be thrild with her.
If she ever does talk to us again how do I aproch the topic? Im at a lose. And one thing I have learnt in life is 'It never herts to ask questions' and when in a bind ask for help, even if only for quidence.
I know I dont contribute much to this site. I apoligize for that. Skill wise or knowledge wise I am not up to par with most ppl. I know my spelling is horid. I try to minimize my posts so as not to give ppl eye cramps from reading posts. BUt for Robyns sake please some one help. We have a declining number of ppl participating in hunting. Ranging from ppl just getting to old to hunt any longer to not having a plase to hunt or time or the funds to hunt. It is every ones duty to introduce this sport of hunting to new ppl regardless of there age. Though the younger they are the better. Under 20 verses 60. The longer the life span of a new hunter more chanses they can introduce some one new them selfs. And as it stands rt now the 2 youngsters I had wiling to give the sport a try are scard away from a anti hunter.
