Application window is open for Deer Hunting 2026

For the seventh year in a row, the New Hill Hunter Education and Mentoring Program is enrolling for 2026.

What you learn during the Program:

1. Anything Deer – North Carolina Deer habitat, behavior, how to find, hunt, process. Enjoy Deer to Venison, Field to the Freezer!
2. Scouting – public and private land hunting, how to find deer, and how to be successful in any place.
3. Rules and regulations – through our strong connection with the North Carolina Wildlife Federation, game wardens, and conservation professionals, you can learn all about deer!
4. Conservation, herd and habitat management — hunters do the most for wildlife. Join our conservation efforts!
5. Safe and Ethical Hunting – it is important what you do, but more important, how you do it. Make it a lifetime experience, safely and ethically.
6. All ways of hunting:
   1. Archery with a climber
   2. Muzzle loader from a blind
   3. Rifle from a tree stand
7. All activities are outdoors-focused. Following an initial classroom day, all other days are field days on private land, including at least 5 days in the woods, and a mentored hunt.
8. Plenty of volunteering and conservation opportunities during our optional days, from tree stand setup to shooting lane management.
9. Our mentors are also HunterEd instructors. If your hunting license is not ready, we can work with you.

The application window is open until all seats are filled.
