Hunter R3 (Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation) Grant Program

Hunter R3 (Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation) Grant Program Formerly known as the Hunter and Education Grant Program In order to focus hunter training, development and education programs on adults, females and families, DNR has developed this new grant opportunity. There is a great need for strategically developed, tested programs and results on which to base future program priorities. The Hunter Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation (R3) Grant program will also focus on developing and pilot testing various programs and evaluating the effectiveness of those programs. The primary purpose of the Hunter Recruitment, Retention and Reactivation (R3) grant program is to provide cost-sharing grants to local and technical schools to ensure the education, training and development of safe and ethical hunters and mentors. This grant program is administered as a reimbursement program. This means you must incur and pay all costs associated with the project before seeking reimbursement from DNR. No grant advances are possible. It is possible for grantees to request partial (quarterly) reimbursements of the WDNR during the life of the project.
