Hunting Mentors

He's probably a 9 or 10 hour drive from here.

9 or 10 hours? I'm certain that's impossible from anywhere in Texas. I mapped your location and it's near the Mexican border, right? He lives between San A and Houston. It IS a drive, no doubt, but he is the nearest I could find to offer you an option.

We have a mentor program going here in North Carolina now and I signed on the first year.My Dad was one of the best hunters around and a top hunter safety instructor and he always instilled in myself and my brother,to keep our sport alive we need to teach others.We as hunters have the responsibility to pass our heritage on to others,nobody is gonna do it for us and there are to many groups that want nothing more than to stop all hunting.Keep our sport alive by taking a new hunter along with you and teaching them the right way.

Might need some info on this one. My kids have hunted, but I will be gone this season (deployed). They are in Eastern NC near (if you didn't guess) Camp Lejeune. They could use (my son especially) a mentor. I get back around the middle-end of Nov. I would add myself to the list if my schedule wasn't so crazy. Mostly deer and predator hunting.

I am from OH and if someone doesn't mind public land and we can time it our right, I would take them while home on leave at some point. I try (not this year) to take the opening week of bow and gun season. I have extra climbers and firearms and even a few Xbows, since actual bows take practice and set up we won't likely have time for, laying around for them. I think I might be able to scratch up some cammies too, if old military stuff doesn't bother them. No high dollar pieces, but good enough to start. I can be reached at [email protected]. I should be back this OH gun season.
 
Art Eatman, This was a great idea!!!

My father was a hunter and I grew up in deer camps. I honestly never considered how a person got started because I had so many mentors.

Kudos for the wherewithal you had to start this thread!!!
 
I too am needing a mentor; someone that can show me the ropes so I don't waste so much time (which I don't have as much of as most due to my age).
I came to hunting late but not to firearms or being in the woods. Still, I love it and just being in the woods so want to learn skills that perhaps I can pass on to younger family and friends that have not hunted.
I am in Coastal Georgia
 
New guy here, What a great idea! I’ve always been very interested in hunting but don’t really know anyone close by with any knowledge... this seems to be a great resource... I’ll be reaching out to a mentor nearby soon!
 
Anyone got a mentor for Wisconsin? I'd like to go on a deer hunt, but I think without some kind of guide at least for the first time, it would be wasted.

I started by Googling "guided whitetail hunt Wisconsin" and my first hit was a place that starts at $10k. Yikes.
 
Oh this is pretty cool!
Starting out hunting and would like a mentor for East Texas if anyone is around!
 
Great thread! Thank you, Art.
Anyone in North Western South Carolina or South Western North Carolina?
