Future of Hunting Traditions
Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation are the three Rs to initiatives by state conservation agencies and non-profits to increase engagement in hunting. Efforts are focused on adults in general, females as a subgroup, and food. Through programs such as Women Afield through Colorado Parks & Wildlife, Women in the Woods hosted by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, a film series by Modern Carnivore, and Learn to Hunt offered by the Aldo Leopold Foundation, hard work is being done to create an intentional mentoring relationship for the longevity of the hunting and angling traditions in this country.
