This project is designed to implement the US national R3 program in the state of Idaho. This grant allows First Hunt Foundation (FHF) to assist the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) in keeping the hunting heritage alive by recruiting new hunters, retaining the current hunters, and by reactivating hunters who no longer hunt. Metrics of success will be the addition of 70 new volunteer mentors, the establishment of 2-4 new organized chapters of FHF, the establishment of 4-6 new hunter training events per year, and access to many thousands of private land acres for training new hunters. Overall success will be the established relationship/partnership between FHF and IDFG’s Region 3 Coordinator which in the long run helps Idaho youth and new hunters.
