Youth Hunters In National Spotlight Young hunters again were receiving national media attention last week when the Associated Press featured an article about residents in North Dakota wanting to ease hunting age requirements. The story—picked up by countless newspapers nationwide—focused on statistics from the Families Afield youth hunting report funded by NSSF, the National Wild Turkey Federation and U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance. Over the past few months, Families Afield has gained much attention from media, including reports on national television and radio and in the country’s largest daily newspapers. The initiative is aimed at eliminating barriers that prevent parents from being able to hunt with their sons and daughters.
