We are aimed to recruit, retain, and reactivate hunters throughout the country offering courses for every single level of hunters – whether you’re a beginner, an adult-onset hunter, or simply a mature buck hunter that just hasn’t been able to close that deal on that ghost buck on your property.

  • Discover Hunting Europe with Francesco Formisano

    Francesco Formisano shares how as a man in his 30s discovered the challenge, joy, and rewards of hunting. He was a wildlife photographer and veterinarian who was never involved on hunting until he found the intimacy with wild places and animals and was illuminated by the hunt. He soon realized the benefits of harvesting his own meat which led to a healthier lifestyle. As his life has been changed by hunting, his relationships went from, “Hi, how are you?” to, “When can we get back in the mountains and share a campfire?”

  • Discover the R3 of Hunting – Meadow Kouffeld
    When we leave this world, we leave something behind. One way or another, for better or worse. Equally true is our inheritance upon birth. I was not born in to wealth rather a rich life. My inheritance is one of skills, knowledge, and passion for the outdoors. I am fortunate for my upbringing. Most girls and women never get the opportunities that I did. I am working to change that.

    My personal and professional interests surrounding the decline in hunter participation and its impacts on wildlife resources has driven me to spend a significant amount of time working with hunter recruitment, retention, and reactivation (R3) efforts focused on women. I relate to the Extreme Huntress competition goals through recognizing that women play critical roles in their children’s perspective and eventual participation in hunting. It has been said that you cannot plant seeds on sidewalks. To me this means that we can’t continue to pour our limited R3 resources in to youth hunting programs and expect success if we do not recruit the parents. In the end, if the parents are not supportive of their child hunting and do not continue to provide opportunities to develop skills, the youth’s interest will wither and die. As a result, we gain no new hunters to stem the decline. For positive results we should look to the non-hunting parents, especially mom.

    Women are the fastest growing demographic in hunting but there are still significant barriers to their recruitment. One of the hurdles of recruiting women in to hunting is breaking the ingrained perspective that hunting is a man’s sport. This is one area that I feel like I can make a difference. One way to overcome this perception is to increase efforts that promote knowledgeable and competent female role models and leaders that hunt in the media and beyond. In addition to my efforts to develop a women’s R3 program I strive to be the best example of a hunter and angler in both my personal and professional life and continue to produce positive images and examples of women in the field in different media outlets.

  • WTR : Zombie Deer – The Brow Tine Buck with Joseph Byler
    A true story of a whitetail buck I hunted for many years with an amazing story to tell.

    My name is Joseph Byler. I have been an archer since I was young, thanks to the love of hunting my dad instilled in me while growing up. We have an Amish background, and the majority of my family still remains Amish today. As you might imagine, our love of the outdoors is in our blood and traditions.

    I have always enjoyed every part of being an outdoorsman. It brings a feeling of freedom and relief that many people don’t have the opportunity to
    experience, and it’s something I don’t take for granted. I believe that getting out in God’s awesome country, with no other purpose but to spend time in His presence in the great creation He made, is more than enough reason for me. No matter what time, rhyme, or reason I am in the woods, I can always learn something new, and I believe that none of that time is wasted! I believe every single hunt, even the unsuccessful ones, is still worth the time spent because each experience is a benefit and provides learning opportunities.

    I hope you enjoy this story of a buck that I learned many new things from. I’m excited to relive the journey and share it with you!
