Mission and Program Overview
Mission
The responsible hunting scent association was established to bring professional cervid urine producers and hunting scent manufacturers together to work for the common purpose of protecting, maintaining and growing the cervid urine and hunting scent industry, to provide a forum to communicate effectively with other industry trade groups and state and federal agencies and legislators; and to help develop and manage their business in a manner that protects wild cervids while providing quality hunting scent products for hunters. Rhsa manages the deer protection program, helping responsible hunting scent suppliers and manufacturers maintain the safety and biosecurity of urine-based scent products and their sources.
