The North American Model of Conservation depends on sportsmen . Our funding for wildlife management comes through the purchase of fishing and hunting licenses and tags , as well as nearly $ 1.5 billion in excise taxes from the purchase of gear such as rods and reels , trolling motors , firearms and ammunition . If our funding is the backbone of conservation , the work of thousands of volunteers nationwide from conservation organizations is the blood , sweat and tears of the movement . The future of wildlife management and conservation depends on recruiting and retaining the next generation of hunters and anglers . Nearly every state wildlife agency and conservation organization recognizes this fact , and they work diligently to bring “ a new generation of offspring ” into the conservation- and sportsmanminded lifestyle .
Despite the new law in California that prohibits promoting the use of firearms by youth , we thought it was important to cover some of the best programs in the country that recruit the next generation into the hunting , fishing and conservation movement — with the caveat that it would abide by California law . Without further ado , here are today ’ s best recruitment programs .

As you can see , it ’ s impossible for sportsmen young and old to learn anything meaningful about these youth hunting programs . Unfortunately , that ’ s exactly the point of the law signed by Gov . Gavin Newsom . He , along with anti-gun , anti-hunting legislators , want to keep youngsters , their parents and their mentors in the dark about hunting and shooting programs so there will be no future of hunting in California or elsewhere in the United States . As a consequence , wildlife and conservation will suffer .
