Targeting a New Market of Hunters
Public and private organizations across the country are developing programs to help recruit, retain, and reactivate (R3) people into the hunting community. The Illinois Learn to Hunt (LTH) program has joined the movement but are doing things a little differently. Illinois Learn to Hunt workshops are directed towards adults 18 years of age or older, that do not have prior hunting experience for the species that the specific workshop is designed towards.
