This year-long pass allows you, or you and a buddy, to experience the four Start Hunting Sacred Hunt courses at a discount. Includes admission to Start Hunting Turkey, Start Bowfishing, Crossbow Archery & Ground Blinds (Start Hunting), and Start Hunting Small Game courses.
It is NOT the Hunter Education course required by Indiana state law for anyone born in 1987 or later. Luckily, the state allows prospective hunters to still participate in a limited number of mentored hunts before taking the Hunter Education course. If you have a fishing license you will be able to bowfish with us during the Start Bowfishing class.
Classes are held far enough in advance of the opening of hunting seasons to allow students time to acquire their own clothing, equipment, and archery tackle to participate in mentored hunts.
Completing a Scared Hunt course makes you a member of the Sacred Hunt Community, a network of students and mentors in the Indianapolis area and beyond.
COURSE CONTENT:
- Tracking (biology, sign, trailing, aging)
- Camouflage (scent control, blinds, clothing)
- Stalking (movement, stillness, bird language)
- Weapon construction/acquisition (bowyery, shopping, sizing)
- Weapon utilization (archery, atl-atl throwing, nrb training)
REGISTRATION
We will be selling only 10 Start Hunting Packages. Single individual registrations are available, however, we recommend finding a buddy such as a close relative or good friend to share this experience with you. Research shows that having people to hunt with dramatically increases your motivation to get out in the field!
