THE MAJORITY OF THE BOOKLETS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AT ALL OF OUR EVENTS TAKING PLACE DURING THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THE REMAINDER WILL BE AVAILABLE AT NO-CHARGE, THROUGH WTU'S NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.THE NEED TO RECRUIT NEW HUNTERS IS CRITICAL TO THE SPORT OF REGULATED HUNTING. THE MONEY FROM HUNTING LICENSES HELPS STATE FISH & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENTS PAY FOR CONSERVATION PROJECTS AS WELL AS LAW ENFORCEMENT, HUNTER EDUCATION, AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THE BEST WAY TO RECRUIT A NEW HUNTER IS TO OFFER NOVICES A DAY AT THE RANGE, TAKE THEM SMALL GAME HUNTING, LOAN THEM GEAR AND EQUIPMENT UNTIL THEY DECIDE WHAT TO BUY FOR THEMSELVES. TEACH THEM SAFETY, ETHICS, AND HUNTING SKILLS, AND HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR FUTURE HUNTING GOALS. |
