Waterfowler Education Program

Waterfowl hunting is a tremendously rewarding sport, steeped in tradition. Many sportsmen have not witnessed the thrill of ducks streaking over decoys or the excitement of geese hovering over the blind with wings locked!
Waterfowling can be more difficult than other types of hunting because of the substantial amount of equipment and specialized skills that are often needed. Studies have shown that waterfowl hunting takes a great deal of mentoring. An overwhelming 91% of hunters indicated that they were mentored in becoming a waterfowl hunter by a parent, relative or close friend.
The Connecticut Waterfowl Association created this program to help out hunters who have no one to mentor them. This program pairs up experienced volunteer mentors with youths and even adult novice hunters. New participants in this great sport will come to appreciate and help conserve our waterfowl resources. For the mentors, it provides an opportunity to give back to the resource they cherish.
Applicants can print the appropriate forms, fill them out and mail them to:
