Take Someone New Hunting

The Department has partnered with Pheasants Forever to share their Hunter Mentor Pledge in North Dakota.

  • Pledge to take someone new (or lapsed) into the field or forest in the coming year.
  • Then, after your hunt, submit a photo and short recap on the Pheasants Forever website.
  • You and the new hunter will be entered to each win a $500 Scheels gift card (North Dakota participants only) in addition to a chance at the other national prizes.

This challenge is open to all in-season game species through June 30, 2025.
