EDUCATION
HUNT WITH YOUR KIDS, NOT FOR THEM
Youth hold the future of hunting in their hands. As hunters, it is our obligation to teach young people character building, the joy of hunting, and the essential role hunting plays in wildlife management.
The following are a few examples of the effort and dedication the Kenai SCI Chapter puts into our hunting education philosophy:
VOLUNTEERS
Our members volunteer hundreds of hours each year teaching ADF&G Hunter Education programs. We purchased a portable laser shooting system that is being used to teach Hunter Education in the local schools with tremendous acceptance by the students and educators alike.
ANNUAL MOOSE HUNT
Each year, the Kenai SCI Chapter takes a group of underprivileged youth on an ADF&G sponsored educational moose hunt. The students are first given a gun safety demonstration and hunting ethics presentation. Next, they are taken to the field where a chapter member teaches them how to stalk and ethically shoot a moose. The young people then clean the animal, quarter it and pack it out to the vehicle. One of the local butchers shows them how to cut up one quarter, then the students cut up the rest of the moose. They finish by wrapping the meat for distribution among their families.
KENAI PENINSULA WOMEN ON TARGET AND TEENS ON TARGET PROGRAMS
We are proud supporters of the Kenai Peninsula Women on Target and Teens on Target programs. The mission is to create opportunities, encourage, educate, and mentor women and youth on responsible participation in recreational shooting and hunting sports. We partner with programs sponsored by Women on Target and NRA Women.
