For many of us, some of our greatest memories were created outdoors.

A first deer.

A morning in a tree stand.

A conversation around a campfire.

Learning how to safely handle a firearm.

Listening to someone teach us about tracks, wildlife, habitat, and conservation.

Those experiences often happened because someone took the time to introduce us to the outdoors.

Unfortunately, not every young person has that opportunity.

FLWS Beyond the Hunt was created to help change that.

Fall Line Wildlife Solutions works to provide less fortunate youth with safe, supervised, and educational opportunities to experience hunting and the outdoors.

Our goal is not simply to help a young person harvest an animal.

Our goal is to give them an experience.

Youth participating in FLWS programs may have opportunities to learn about:

• Hunter education and firearm safety

• Responsible and ethical hunting

• Wildlife identification

• Wildlife management

• Conservation

• Agriculture and land stewardship

• Tracking

• Shot placement

• Wildlife recovery

• Game processing

• Preparing wild game

• Respect for landowners

• Respect for wildlife

• Outdoor responsibility

• Wildlife Biology

Whenever resources allow, FLWS works to reduce or eliminate the financial barriers that might otherwise prevent a young person from participating.

Depending upon the program, support may include items such as:

• Hunter education

• Safety equipment

• Hunting equipment

• Ammunition

• Transportation assistance

• Food and drinks

• Range preparation

• Mentorship

• Hunting access

• Wildlife processing

• Taxidermy opportunities

• Outdoor clothing or equipment

Our goal is simple:

"We want the young person to concentrate on the experience—not what it costs to participate."   - Garrett Williams

Making these experiences possible requires a community.

Farmers and landowners can provide access.

Hunters can volunteer as mentors.

Businesses can sponsor youth.

Outdoor manufacturers can provide equipment.

Churches and community organizations can identify young people who would benefit.

Individuals can donate.

Together, we can ensure that a young person's financial circumstances do not determine whether they ever have the opportunity to experience the outdoors.
