The initiative includes programming and events for Hoosiers of all ages, backgrounds, and ability levels. The content is designed to foster lifelong participation in hunting, trapping, and shooting sports and encourages healthy lifestyles by promoting physical activity, social connection, and the harvest of locally sourced, free-range wild game meat.
