The Hunter’s Journey
Hunting season is right around the corner.
If you dream of being able to successfully & sustainably harvest food from the land, this may be your perfect next step.
Learning to hunt can be overwhelming, especially without a mentor.
From finding land, to developing the skills, learning to process your harvest and finding people with shared values to hunt with.
The Hunter’s Journey is a thriving online course and community with mentors ready to guide you from where ever you are right now to becoming a successful hunter.
Their team believes in stewardship of the land, reverence for the species they hunt and respect for all people.
Many of their students got out on their first successful hunts last season utilizing what they’d learned through The Hunter’s Journey.
Remember, even if you are not quite ready to harvest an animal yourself, you can apply these skills to shooting with a camera.
The Hunter’s Journey has a special offer just for WildFed listeners! Go here, and enter WILDFED100 for $100 off the course!
