PATH - Hunting
Passing Along The Heritage

A new partnership designed to assist quality mentors in helping youth to STEP OUTSIDE and into the hunting fields of Nebraska

Welcome to the Passing Along the Heritage (PATH) Program. This unique opportunity is a partnership between the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, National Wild Turkey Federation, National Shooting Sports Foundation and Nebraska landowners.

The PATH program, which began in 2006, provides Nebraska youth and their mentors access to private lands and selected public lands to foster mentored youth hunting opportunities across the state.

Only the youth may hunt. The mentor is there to help the youth and provide a good hunting experience for them.

At the heart of this program is a land database that allows for public access by permission on private lands and selected public lands for the specific purpose of mentoring Nebraska youth under age 18. These partners have assembled this opportunity for youth because of their strong belief in the importance of passing along our hunting heritage to the next generation.

Thank you for taking the time to introduce youth to the many adventures that hunting has to offer. Please remember to hunt safe, instill safety in all that participate and respect the landowner and the resource. Good luck and enjoy Nebraska's great outdoors!
