Mitchell, SD MITCHELL, S.D. Mitchell, South Dakota Any hunter will tell you that it’s more than just harvesting game - it’s about teaching valuable life lessons. Beyond spending time in the great outdoors, hunting is about spending time with family and friends. It removes us from a hectic schedule and creates connections, allows time for telling stories, sharing memories and teaching the younger generation about the importance of those things. That’s what hunting is all about. Life Lessons Those traditions are sometimes lost through the generations - people are too busy, schedules are too crowded - the list goes on. But the lessons gained through hunting are vital to pass on to the next genera- tion. Learning how to be responsi- ble, following rules and building pride in a child’s ability to partici- pate builds confidence and skills. Computer games and cell phones can’t teach the pride of providing and the reward of patience and hard work. Plus, the appreciation for nature and the importance of pro- tecting the environment gained through hunting comes only sec- ond to recognizing the importance connecting face-to-face with family, friends and neighbors. Those are just some of the skills and memories your family can still experience in Mitchell, S.D. today.
