NEW HAVEN, Mo. – ALPS OutdoorZ, premiere manufacturer of extreme-duty hunting packs and gear for big-game hunters, turkey hunters, and waterfowlers, is committed to reversing the alarming decline of hunting participation numbers and to help expand new hunter recruitment efforts. To kick off the company's Save The Lifestyle initiative, ALPS OutdoorZ has introduced the Save The Lifestyle Mentor Pledge.

The Save The Lifestyle Mentor Pledge is intended to encourage veteran outdoorsmen and women to take a less experienced or new hunter into the field, teaching them how to hunt ethically and successfully, the importance of game and habitat conservation, and to illustrate the value of our hunting culture and heritage through one-on-one mentorship. It is this type of personal introduction that most hunters received from family and friends, and that is essential to the next generation of hunters—young and old alike—if our hunting lifestyle is to be preserved for future outdoor enthusiasts.

Participation in the mentor pledge is easy and instantly rewarding. This program is currently being offered just in time for turkey season and will run through May 15, 2019.

To enter, mentor participants can visit the ALPS OutdoorZ Save The Lifestyle webpage, read the application guidelines, and complete the online entry form. Upon conclusion of the program on May 15, three successful entrants will win one of several prize packages:

• GRAND PRIZE PACKAGE

• Two Weatherby Element Synthetic Shotguns (12 or 20 gauge)
• Two pairs of LaCrosse boots
• $2000 ALPS cash ($1k for each participant to spend on ALPS sites)

• FIRST RUNNER-UP PRIZE PACKAGE
  • One pair of LaCrosse boots
  • $750 ALPS Cash

• SECOND RUNNER-UP PRIZE PACKAGE
  • $250 ALPS Cash
