March 2, 2019 by Tina Elwood Gehrke
As we see demographic changes, competing interests and shifts in popular American culture have all contributed to the decline in participation rates in hunting and fishing. To address these trends, Linn County Pheasants Forever is focusing our efforts on strategically maintaining and increasing participation in hunting, angling and the shooting sports as part of a national movement referred to as R3. R3 means recruitment, retention and reactivation of hunters, anglers and shooting sports participants. True R3 efforts focus on the needs of individuals and the process required to ensure their starting and continued participation in hunting, angling and the shooting sports. Linn County Pheasants Forever supports local shooting sports teams by partnering and giving to those who assist with our chapter events.
