Do you know a worthy hunters ed instructor?

Nominations are open for the 2023 Hunter Education Instructor of the Year, Hunter Education Group of the Year and Archery Education Instructor of the Year awards.

Current hunter and archery education instructors, and hunter education groups that have significantly advanced hunter safety on a voluntary basis, through extraordinary service, are eligible to be nominated.

“Hunter and archery education instructors are often pillars of their community, who continue to advance the sport of hunting, through providing high-quality safety training to the next generation of hunters,” said DNR Warden Lt. Michael Weber.

Extraordinary service can come in various forms, including recruiting new instructors, recruiting new students or hunters, the volume of courses taught or involvement in other activities in their community, related to hunter education.

To nominate an individual or group, download the nomination form on the DNR’s volunteer webpage and email the completed form to: DNRLESafety@wisconsin. Entries are accepted until Feb. 15, 2024.
