About This Event

One thing I’m really excited about is creating a fun event for our teenagers. We live in a hunting community, and passing down knowledge, respect for the outdoors, and safe, ethical hunting practices to the next generation is very important to me. 🫶
These skills aren’t just about hunting—they’re about responsibility, conservation, confidence, and building a connection to the land. It’s pretty special to see young people learning from experienced mentors, asking questions, and gaining hands-on experience in a positive environment.
The future of our hunting traditions starts with our youth, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to help them learn and grow.

Why Wyld Rangers?

Because time outdoors grows good humans. Out here, kids learn to handle a rifle with respect, build a shelter with their friends, and read the land around them. They head home with new skills, a little more confidence, and a deeper respect for nature and for each other.
