Do you know an adult who is interested in learning to hunt? The New Hunters Weekend held Jan. 18-20, 2019, in northwest Florida provides an educational, mentored introduction to hunting. This event, hosted by the Future of Hunting in Florida, uses expert instructors to teach adult participants about hunter safety, scouting, deer behavior, conservation and how to field dress and prepare venison. Participants will have the opportunity to experience hunting with a mentor.

The New Hunters Weekend also features a great opportunity to connect with nature in a rustic camp setting that provides comforts afforded by a generator. There is no cost for the hunt, though, each participant is asked to donate $40 to help pay for meals. New hunters also must have a valid hunting or hunting mentor license. To reserve a spot, contact John Fuller at johndfullerpa@comcast.net or call 850-509-4099.
