I second this!! I feel so much more knowledgeable and confident in my ability to go out and hunt on my own!

Thank you mentors! This was such an amazing experience and definitely gave me the confidence to hunt and field dress a deer!

The Willow Creek coop had a very successful Field to Fork event this morning with 6 of 9 first time hunters harvesting a doe! Deer conservation at work in Ingham County!

Our branch hosted the NDA field to fork program this morning. Nine adult first time hunters went afield with their mentors. Six were successful and looking to fill the other three tags this evening. Great time seeing these people experience their first harvest. I believe they will be future whitetail hunters.

Our branch led by matt rudd and dave Bergeon hosted our first “field to fork” event. Nine new hunters attended the training day last Saturday. The nine will have mentored hunts September 20/21. Our branch which hosted military youth hunts in the past is trying this new NDA program this year. It’s takes a lot of coordination and volunteers to make this happen for helping new hunters experience the outdoors !
