Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Remedial Hunter Education-Why I Hunt

Have you ever been asked the question "Why do you hunt?" If you have, you may have had difficulty answering the question. The desire to hunt is something that is not easy to put in words or to share with others. Yet, as a hunter it is important for you to understand your reasons. Every hunter has a unique set of interest, memories, values and experiences that help make up why they hunt. If you know your reasons for hunting, you'll be more likely to choose hunting experiences that are good for you. And you'll know how to explain to someone else why you hunt and why it is important to you. The Why I Hunt program will help identify and clarify your thoughts about hunting.

The Why I Hunt exercise presents 30 statements and asks you to select the degree to which you agree or disagree with each one.
