Stag - Hunting
Stag – I followed the field,
And found with eye,
Watcher in Woods,
Waiting for me.
Wildlife Identification Challenge: Young Vikings earn +1 level for successfully identifying 20+ wildlife land
animals & birds around them. Find out from your local State wildlife department what species are in your
area. Take the time to learn about their habits and behaviors. Learn to identify the signs left by these
animals such as tracks, dens, markings, poop, pathways, nests, etc. Make and keep a scrap book with pictures,
photos, prints, sketches, feathers, etc. Young Vikings may only earn this level once.
Hunter’s Safety Course - Rifle, Young Vikings earn +1 level for successfully passing a nationally accredited
Hunter’s Safety Course. The age at which you may enter your child into the course varies from State to
State though the median age is 10. Young Vikings may only earn this level once.
Hunter’s Safety Course - Archery, Young Vikings earn +1 level for successfully passing a nationally accredited
Hunter’s Safety Course. The age at which you may enter your child into the course varies from State to
State. Young Vikings may only earn this level once.
Hunt I Challenge: Young Vikings earn +1 level for performing 12 cumulative hours of actual hunting with Rifle /
shotgun or with bow and arrows. They must show an understanding of basic techniques, safety, laws, etc.
Young Vikings may only earn this level once per year up to a maximum of 4 years for Rifle/shotgun and in like
manner for bow and arrows.
Hunt II Challenge: Young Vikings earn +1 level for performing a successful small game hunt. The game must
also be honored with some gift, a prayer to Ancestors, etc. Although this does not need to be an elaborate
ritual, you will find many hunting families have some tradition similar to this regardless of their religious
beliefs. The final stage is the consumption of the game killed and the sharing of it with the community.
Hunting of certain non-game animals, such as coyote, may not make this final stage appropriate but the keeping
of hide and use of other parts may be possible. Feel free to consult the Viking Council if you have any
questions. Young Vikings may earn this level only once per year for Rifle/shotgun and once per year for bow
and arrow. There is no limit to the maximum number of levels a Young Viking can gain as long as only one level
per type of hunting tool is used.
Hunt III Challenge: Young Vikings earn +1 level for performing a successful large game hunt. The game must
also be honored with some gift, a prayer to Ancestors, etc. Although this does not need to be an elaborate
ritual, you will find many hunting families have some tradition similar to this regardless of their religious
beliefs. The final stage is the consumption of the game killed and the sharing of it with the community. The
keeping and use of hides and other parts such as horns or antlers may be possible. Feel free to consult the
Viking Council if you have any questions. Young Vikings may earn this level only once per year for Rifle/shotgun
and once per year for bow and arrow. There is no limit to the maximum number of levels a Young Viking can gain
as long as only one level per type of hunting tool is used.
