Ok, I know that $380 is a lot of money for most people to pay to come and take one of my two-day deer hunting classes. I certainly couldn't afford to pay for one of my own classes. I know that there are a lot of people who would really benefit from this course but cannot possible afford it.That is why I'm giving away one place in the November class for free.
To apply, write a brief email explaining why you want to take the class. Tell us a little bit about yourself. One applicant will be chosen for a free spot in the class happening the weekend of November 26th.
The winner will be chosen not by me but by Fergus Clare. Fergus is a primitive skills expert and is one of the co-instructors whom I regularly bring in for the class. Fergus teaches skinning and hide preparation during the deer classes and has also recently started blogging as The Anthrohemian. Email him at fergusclare@gmail.com to apply for the scholarship.
Meanwhile, we still have a bunch of other spots open in the November class. I also intend to offer another class on the second weekend of December if the interest is there. Whatever classes we offer this weekend will almost certainly be the last of the deer hunting classes in Virginia because the deer farm is closing. I've reserved a few deer to use for field dressing and butchering demonstrations and then that is the end of them.
To sign up for the November class without applying for the scholarship, send me an email at jack.landers@gmail.com.

Actually, loads of evidence points out that people are happier if they invest their money in experiences rather than objects -- so spending the money for the deer class would make me happier than using the same money for a new fancy hunting knife (which I would not use because I did not take the deer class in the first place).
I wish I could take the deer class, but, since I live in a different country and continent I will have to do something else to lear how to hunt!
