My son-in-law had the great misfortune of growing up in Manhattan, then living in the DC area. He'd never seen a flintlock other than in a movie, so I've taught him how to load and shoot one. He and my daughter are down for Christmas, and he wants to learn hunting and trapping, so I've taken him hunting a couple times this week. Yesterday we bagged a beaver, and he wanted to learn to skin it, so I did my best at teaching him. It was a bit amusing, let's just say you can tell which half I skinned and which half he skinned. :wink: But I remember when I was just learning to skin, so I have a lot of sympathy.
Its good to have a born and bred big city guy take an interest in these things, so I've been giving him a lot of encouragement.
