| Giving Back: Mentoring Young Hunters |
|---|
A youngster's first hunt can mark the beginning of a lifelong passion for the outdoors and a commitment to wildlife conservation.
To make the most of your time together:
-
Hunt Safe. Not matter what the age, hunting is one the safest outdoor activities. Youth hunters are some of the safest hunters when accompanied by an alert mentor.
-
Hunt Smart. Scouting and range practice are a necessary and exciting ingredients to any successful hunt.
-
Model Behavior. Safe and responsible hunters are mentored by safe and responsible hunters.
-
Go often. Don't just hunt the youth weekends. Lifelong hunting participation is directly related to the amount of time spent hunting in youth, especially when these experience occurs in a family/mentor setting.
-
Most Importantly
Have Fun! Being with family and friends and generally having a good time is more important to youth hunters than bagging game. Don't push them. Young hunters need positive reinforcement
