This report explores how to help hunter education graduates become life-long hunters. The results were developed after a series of focus groups and surveys. Fully detailed results are available from the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation and the International Hunter Education Association.
Don’t assume every hunter education graduate is a hunter!
- Graduating from hunter education does not always lead to a license purchase
- Over 1/3 of hunter education graduates do not purchase a license in the 7 years after graduation
- But only 5% of hunter education graduates did not intend to hunt prior to taking the course
