This Dual Skills Camp is a learn-to-hunt event. Attendees will be mentored through a squirrel hunting experience from the preparation and gear phase through the post-harvest meal prep. AFI mentors will host attendees talking through the ins and outs of squirrel hunting in SE Arizona. After hunting, our Fort Huachuca AFI Liaison will discuss how hunting affects conservation in AZ, what is the North American model of conservation, and how participants can use their voices as members of the military community to support BHA's conservation mission.
