The National Deer Association (NDA) is an organization whose mission is to ensure the future of wild deer, wildlife habitat and hunting. One of the programs offered through the NDA is the Field to Fork, an Adult Hunter Recruitment Program. The program is a food-focused hunter recruitment program for adults from non-hunting backgrounds. Field to Fork invites adults outside of the traditional hunting culture to learn every aspect of hunting and sourcing their own protein.
Field to Fork continues to blaze a new trail in hunter recruitment, proving there is a strong desire among many non-hunting adults to learn to hunt deer for food. The program has proved the “efficiency” of recruiting adult hunters: They have the independence and ability to hunt on their own immediately after they receive a helping hand for their first experience, and more than 80% of Field to Fork recruits are, in fact, continuing to hunt independently. They share their venison with others, buy hunting equipment of their own, and even take other new hunters into the deer woods.
Take the Deer Hunting 101 online course, which is the same education utilized in our Field to Fork programs. This course was developed by NDA and is powered by the leading provider of online hunter safety courses in North America, Kalkomey Enterprises, LLC or
