We have a LTH Whitetail Deer Hunt Program here in Portage County. This program is designed to get those who have the desire to learn how to hunt, but don't have the direction needed to get involved.
I am involved with this project. I need your help. I am in need of about 10 people who want to learn how to hunt. The only restrictions are - They must be 10 years old or older on the first day of the hunt and have never purchased a deer hunting license before.
They will have to attend a class which will be held on October 1, where they will be paired up with their mentor and the hunt is October 29 & 30.
Last year the hunters were age 12 to 43.
If you know of anyone who would be interested in attending please let me know.
Thanks!
This sounds awesome!
Skook-
You forget that this program is designed for those who come from a non-hunting family. Very seldom do we have any non-hunting families in hunter safety classes. If they are running the program as intended the program should be full of non hunting families getting trained on how to hunt whitetail deer.
We offer hunter safety as a summer school option in our local districts and encourage all students to take the class as a way to expand their horizons and about half come from non hunting families.
We've been doing LTH programs for 13 years and have introduced over 2000 young people to the outdoors and hunting.
What school districts are letting you do that?
Do they allow live fire at a local range?
Sounds like a good plan, keep up the good work!
