In one short generation, we have "advanced" to the point where ... I have to teach my own kids safe gun handling instead of having the Boy Scouts or the HS Rifle team show them and kids have never seen an animal die to provide food for the family...

(Knock on wood) Every summer, when we take the troop to Scout camp, I fear that the People's Republic of Massachusetts will have taken away the shooting ranges, but, so far, so good. We still have ranges for archery, rifle, and shotgun. After firearms safety lessons, many boys are out there with 22's daily shooting all the rounds they can during free shoots and rifle merit badge. The older boys, after additional training, can then go on to the shotgun range and go after those crafty clay pigeons.

The concept of hunting / trapping and cooking small game is still taught, but not actually practiced anymore in Wilderness Survival. When we were boys, we would regularly sample culinary delights such as squirrel, frog, rabbit, and snake; not anymore. Fishing is all catch and release now too, except salt water species. At least we can still hike and camp and make fires (but, make sure you follow LNT).
