Thank you for your interest in becoming a new deer hunter. The National Deer Association and our partners are dedicated to mentoring new hunters both in-person and online while inspiring our members and all hunters to join us.
Nothing can take the place of a good mentor to take you out on your first hunt, and our goal is to help you find a local, knowledgeable hunter willing to show you the ropes whether it be as a part of an organized Field to Fork event or on your own arrangement. In the meantime, here are some resources we recommend:
