Did you know?

There are over two million less hunters than there was five years ago. As the core populous of hunters continues to age, total hunter numbers continue to decline. Roughly 60% of all funding for state wildlife agencies comes from the purchase of hunting licenses and the federal excise tax on guns, ammunition, and angling equipment. It is key to the future of hunting and wildlife conservation that there are new sportsmen and women of all ages to fill the shoes of those that have come before them.

There are numerous ways to be a mentor:

  1. Volunteer at an organized hunt camp
  2. Take someone hunting in a non-formal setting
  3. Become a digital mentor for the Arizona Outdoor Skills Network
  4. Share hunting stories and outdoor skills.
  5. Share a wild game dinner.
  6. Share a hunting magazine subscription.
  7. Take someone along on a pre-hunting season scouting or shooting trip.
  8. Introduce someone to the outdoors through a simple walk in the woods.
  9. Invite someone to a hunter education course
  10. Become a hunter education instructor!
