Hunter Recruitment: Getting at the Meat of the Issue

Steven Rinella, host of MeatEater, speaks during dinner at the North American Deer Summit.

If I took nothing else away from last week’s North American Deer Summit, I at least came home with a big appetite. Venison steak, roasts or burger – it all sounded good. ....

Interestingly, the two main keynote speakers at the Summit, Steven Rinella and Shane Mahoney, both seemed to have a similar solution in mind. Focus on the meat.

His point, as I understood it, was that non-hunters can connect with hunting most tangibly by virtue of food. It’s something we have in common. It’s something we’re all interested in. It’s something that’s a part of all of our lives. And there’s an opportunity there for us to engage with them on this.

He took to instruction like a duck to water! I think the second way to get people into hunting is take them out to shoot a 22lr. I bought some 22 steel animal targets that go flying when hit. I think its the next best investment beside the auto loader for the 10-22 mags!

Take a kid shooting!
