| "To waste, to destroy our
natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so
as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days
of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand
down to them amplified and developed." |

"To be healthy and hungry in the wilds is the way of the
hunter. He strips himself of society's insulating layers of
artificiality and becomes a player, a predator alive on a primal
level. No longer just an observer, the hunter becomes an integral,
working part of nature." Ron Spomer

Bird and Big Game Hunting Instruction
Outdoor Environmental EducationInterested in
learning more about the hunt but have never had a mentor? Would
you like to teach your kids about the responsibility and awareness that
accompanies ethical hunting, but don't know where to start?
Hunting and several other wildlife opportunities are
available to us today because hunters in the past cared enough to take
required steps to ensure the survival, recovery, and growth of our
natural resources, habitat, and wildlife.
Hunting not only provides a direct link between us and
our food (natural, free range, non-medicated food), and our environment,
but it also provides an excellent opportunity, especially for kids, to
learn about responsibility, respect, self-awareness, and an appreciation
for all things wild.

Please contact us for more
information on how IWLA members, who come from a long line of hunters,
can help open the doors to your North American hunting opportunities
with hands on instruction, hunter's safety education information, and
personal experience.

"One of the primary purposes of hunting is to exercise
our need to remain a part of the natural world. We still have the desire
to participate in the natural process. Our developed world is becoming
separated from nature; it is becoming artificial. Even the outdoors is
delivered through the window of a tour bus or processed through movies,
videos, and theme parks that mock reality. Hunting is one of the last
ways we have to exercise our passion to belong to the earth, to be part
of the natural world, to participate in the ecological drama, and to
nurture the ember of wildness within ourselves."
