It\u2019s a form of wellness and peace. Whatever has kept minorities away from that needs to change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-alabama-deer-hunters-shatter-previous-records-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-minorities-increasing-hunting-participation\" title=\"Is Reaching Minorities the Key to Increasing Hunting Participation?\">Alabama Deer Hunters Primed to Shatter Previous Records in 2021<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunting and conservation advocates have for years been reaching out to demographics that have traditionally been underrepresented in the American hunting community. Some programs target college students, which tend to be more racially diverse. Others target women and mothers looking for locally sourced, free-range meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others, like <a href=\"https:\/\/outdoorafro.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-minorities-increasing-hunting-participation\" title=\"Is Reaching Minorities the Key to Increasing Hunting Participation?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outdoor Afro<\/a>, encourage black Americans to get into the outdoors in whatever way they\u2019re comfortable with \u2013 including hunting and fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was tired of seeing how blacks were viewed and were viewing themselves in nature. I was ready to change the visual narrative,\u201d Rue Mapp, Outdoor Afro\u2019s founder, told <a href=\"https:\/\/thriveglobal.com\/stories\/rewilding-our-natural-and-cultural-pathways\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-minorities-increasing-hunting-participation\" title=\"Is Reaching Minorities the Key to Increasing Hunting Participation?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thrive Global<\/a> earlier this year. \u201cThe work of Outdoor Afro is working toward the ordinary. We know we have won when we see black people outside and in nature, in proportion to their population and their opportunities, and it is NO big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone believes the hunting community is doing everything it can to welcome non-white demographics. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hunt365-covid-sparks-12-increase-hunting-license-sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-minorities-increasing-hunting-participation\" title=\"Is Reaching Minorities the Key to Increasing Hunting Participation?\">COVID Sparks 12% Increase in Hunting License Sales and 1 Million More Hunters<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lamar Gore, who manages the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, has taught young hunters from Philadelphia and surrounding areas how to take a whitetail deer with a crossbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He told the Post-Gazette that hunting has a marketing problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have groups that are lamenting the decline of hunting and the remedy is to continuously reach out to the people who are already hunting,\u201d Gore said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying all of it is an intentional, exclusionary tactic, but I think there\u2019s people out there who are definitely trying to keep folks out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/library\/publications\/2018\/demo\/fhw-16-nat.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-minorities-increasing-hunting-participation\" title=\"Is Reaching Minorities the Key to Increasing Hunting Participation?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vast majority<\/a> of hunters in the U.S. are white, but that may be changing.
