Stewards of the Wild members who are first time or novice hunters or anglers have the opportunity to participate in mentored hunts and fishing trips throughout the year. These trips are unforgettable experiences where novice hunters and anglers will learn how to harvest, process, and cook wild game while supporting wildlife conservation and celebrating our outdoor heritage. Become a Stewards of the Wild member and join us in the field this season! Thank you to our Mentored Hunting Initiative Presenting Sponsor SITKA Gear. With SITKA's support, we are able to offer low-cost hunts for new and novice hunters. Stewards of the Wild partners with Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) to host some of the mentored hunts. Please note that the Stewards of the Wild Mentored Hunting application and hunts are separate from TWA's Adult Learn to Hunt Program application and hunts. Mentee Applications for the 2025-2026 season will open July 2, 2025. The Mentor and Volunteer Application can be found here and will remain open year-round. Questions?
