Ten mentee/mentor pairs will hunt with compound bows for deer, learn how to read deer sign, clean and process deer, meet other local hunters and learn about how to bow hunt for deer. This is a capstone event where we culminate all previous trainings with real-life hunting experience.
The hunt will take place on the beautiful Mashomack Preserve on Shelter Island during the white-tailed deer rut (breeding season) and everyone will be staying at the Mashomack Manor House.
We will have hands on experience with tree stands, deer processing, butchering, wild game cooking (and eating!) as well as some amazing hunts on an amazing property.
Mentees will need to be proficient using a compound bow to be accepted. We have bows available for mentees to borrow before and during the event.
Application deadline is end of day October 10th, 2025.
