This Christmas-themed coloring book, produced by the Indiana Hunter Education Association, features a holiday narrative to teach children about outdoor safety. The story follows Conservation Officer Karl, Hunter Ed, and his dog, T-Bone, as they celebrate the season.
The plot centers on a mishap where T-Bone accidentally climbs a Christmas tree while chasing a squirrel. This event serves as a teaching moment for the book’s primary safety lesson: always wear a full-body harness when hunting off the ground.
This coloring book, produced by the Indiana Hunter Education Association and the Indiana Hunter Education Program, is a safety resource dedicated to the memory of First Sergeant Karl Kelley, a conservation officer who died in the line of duty during water rescue training in 1998. Illustrated by Shawn P. Mahoney, the book uses simple cartoons to teach children essential firearm and hunting safety rules.
