What is a mentor hunt?

Mentor hunts are designed to introduce new hunters, the mentee, to hunting in general or to hunting a species they have not pursued before. As an incentive to get hunters to be a mentor and introduce new hunters, both the mentee and the mentor can participate in the hunt if they win a permit. Applications for mentor hunts can be purchased by either the mentor, the mentee, or both. To qualify as a mentee, the applicant must not have hunted the species for which they are applying, or checked in an animal for deer and turkey, in the previous five years. A mentor can be anyone willing to introduce a mentee to hunting or hunting a particular species.
