Hunter recruitment & retention

The Hunter Recruitment and Retention Program recognizes the importance of hunters as conservationists and the important role they play in the North American model of wildlife conservation.

As such, it supports hunters and hunting by reducing barriers to participation and opening doors of opportunity. Furthermore, it promotes a positive image of hunters and hunting in an effort to preserve and foster hunting's place as an important part of Minnesota's outdoor heritage.

Fortunately, Minnesota already has the most important ingredients necessary for successful hunter recruitment and retention, a citizenry and culture that supports hunting and a wealth of game species and public hunting lands.
