Idaho’s volunteer instructors are a well-respected and dedicated corps of sportsmen and sportswomen who are the heart of our hunting, bowhunting, and trapper education programs. They offer an essential service that helps to secure the perpetuation of our rich hunting and trapping heritage. If you would like to join their ranks, we will see you at New Instructor Orientation this spring!
