Core values

- **Safety and Legal Compliance**: Hunter education programs taught through the website emphasize safe hunting practices, reducing the risk of hunting-related accidents and ensuring compliance with hunting laws, which contributes to public safety[1][4][5].
- **Ethical Hunting Practices**: The website promotes ethical hunting, which includes respect for wildlife, fair chase principles, and responsible behavior. This helps maintain public opinion of hunters positively and ensures sustainable wildlife populations[1][2][4].
- **Conservation**: Hunters educated through these programs contribute to wildlife conservation through licensing fees, taxes on hunting equipment, and participation in conservation programs. This funding supports the preservation of habitats and wildlife populations[1][4].
- **Skill Development and Self-Reliance**: The education provided enhances outdoor skills such as map reading, wilderness survival, and wildlife identification, which are beneficial not only for hunting but also for general outdoor activities and personal development[1].
- **Community and Social Responsibility**: The programs encourage responsible behavior towards landowners, other hunters, and non-hunters, fostering a sense of community and respect within and outside the hunting community[2][4].
