The Learn to Hunt Program is an educational opportunity designed to help inexperienced hunters, both youth and adults, have a high quality, safe, and rewarding first-time hunting experience under the guidance of qualified Hunter Education Instructors and hunting mentors. Participants will receive both classroom and field instruction prior to an actual hunt. All participants will be paired up one-on-one with a qualified mentor to provide the highest level of instruction and safety. Many of these Learn to Hunt events are sponsored by local conservation clubs and organizations under the supervision of the Department.
