Chapter 11: Expanding Your Opportunities
Advanced Programs and Organizations

There are other opportunities available for hunters and trappers year-round. Many agencies, organizations, and sportsmen's clubs offer advanced courses that provide instruction in specific areas of hunting, shooting, trapping, and outdoors skills. These types of programs are both informative and challenging. In addition to participating in advanced hunting and trapping programs, involvement in other shooting sports and wildlife conservation organizations offers enjoyable and rewarding experiences.

Mentor Someone

A final way that you can expand your hunting and trapping opportunities is to become a mentor or teacher to someone who is interested in those activities. As your skills increase, passing along your knowledge to someone else can be rewarding. By taking a friend deer hunting for the first time or showing a young neighbor how to set up a trapline, you are not only teaching, but you also are helping to pass on the heritage and traditions of hunting or trapping in Pennsylvania.
