About
Every time you go into Penn’s Woods, you take home more than a harvest. So pay it forward and take someone hunting this fall.
Game Commissioner Bob Schwalm and R3 Program Coordinator Evan Mock join host Matt Morrett to discuss the responsibility hunters have to conservation by getting the next generation outdoors through mentorship.
Episode Highlights:
How mentorship builds hunters, creates lasting relationships, and strengthens the future of conservation
The opportunities Pennsylvania offers, from adult and youth permits to special events and seasons
How to break down barriers for new hunters
The importance of keeping mentees involved in every aspect of the hunt
Ways to keep it fun, simple, and pressure-free
Why every harvest is worth celebrating and every “mistake” is a lesson learned
Why it’s still a success, even if a mentee doesn’t become a hunter
