I have taught a few guys to hunt over the last 10 or so years. There are times that it gets very frustrating.....so my advise is don't get frustrated and be patient. Sometimes people have to learn lessons the hard way. Let him tear up a hill side for a day or two and wear himself out.....then show him the ways. Sit, glass, listen, smell, etc.
Move slow and and bite off small task.....hunting is a lifelong process. The first guy I took hunting is now an avid hunter and relatively successful on his own. My son guided him to his first bear last year which was another milestone. It really is the next stage of a lifelong hunter....teaching. The old saying....SEE ONE, DO ONE, TEACH ONE....applies. When you can teach others to hunt safely and successfully, I feel like you have a mastery of the craft. So in order of importance as I have taught new hunters.
1. Safety (firearms, survival, terrain / weather, navigation, gear, etc)
2. Scouting (e-scouting and boots on the ground).... north facing slopes with cover, feed and water always carry animals....period.
3. Shooting (ethical shot placement...not rushing. Most new hunters (and experienced) lose their bowels when it is go time....calm down and make a good shot).
4. Enjoy the hunt....the kill is the icing on the cake.
5.......find teaching moments and don't let them pass. It's OK to interrupt a hunt to teach, especially if it is a safety issue.
This makes me want to start a post of bloopers and blunders of teaching a new hunter......I have a few. My 13 y.o. son was helping guide a friend last year. It was his first year hunting seriously (he had hiked with a gun for a few years prior) and they were sitting in a tree stand looking for bear. This particular tree stand overlooks a great saddle where bear travel frequently. My friend wouldn't stop talking and my son didn't know how to tell him to shut up. After the hunt, my son tells me the story....."Dad, I didn't know how to tell him to shut the heck up." LOLOLOLO. I told my buddy and he laughed.....he said my son should have told him. My son has grown to love helping others, but now I am teaching him how to do just that. I remind my son, he use to talk a lot too.
