Do we really need more hunters? Even though the answer to that might be an obvious “yes” for most, not everyone agrees largely due to concerns about competition for places to hunt and the ability to acquire tags. In this episode, Nick and The Doctor are joined by NDA’s Director of Hunting, Hank Forester, to tackle this difficult question and others related to new hunter recruitment. They also discuss NDA’s Field to Fork program and the enjoyment and satisfaction that comes from mentoring new hunters. For more information on NDA’s Field to Fork program, visit www.deerassociation.com/fieldtofork.
