The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is accepting nominations for the 2025 Hunter Education Instructor of the Year, Hunter Education Group of the Year and Archery Education Instructor of the Year awards.
“The dedication of our hunter and archery education instructors to ensuring that our students have the highest quality of safety training before heading into the woods is an incredibly valuable tool for the agency,” Lt. Renee Thok, DNR hunter education administrative warden, said in a statement. “They deserve as much recognition as we can give them.”
Current hunter and archery education instructors and hunter education groups that “have significantly advanced hunter safety on a voluntary basis through extraordinary service” are eligible to be nominated.
Such service includes recruiting new instructors, recruiting new students or hunters, the volume of courses taught or involvement in other activities in their community related to hunter education.
Nominations are due by Feb. 15.
