COME WITH!™
America’s abundant natural resources provide countless opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. With millions of acres of public land available across all 50 states, there is no better time than now to get outside.
The health benefits of being outdoors are well documented and America’s woods and waters are meant for all to enjoy. With daily screen times averaging an astounding 9 hours per day, time outdoors is sadly dwindling across the Nation.
America’s 60 million active HATSTM (Hunters, Anglers, Trappers, Shooters) know the value of being outside and collectively spend 1.2 billion days enjoying nature each year while hunting, fishing, trapping and/or target shooting.
HATS are an extremely important cohort for conservation. In addition to being leading stewards of the environment, HATS are primary funders of land, fish and wildlife conservation in America. They provide more than $10 million each day that supports conservation with funds coming from their purchases of hunting and fishing licenses, special outdoor product purchases, and donations to conservation organizations.
To get more folks outdoors, Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation (OSCF) requests that you invite someone new to ComeWith! you the next time you head to the range, woods or waters.
There is no better feeling than teaching someone a new skill. The excitement you’ll experience from watching someone catch their first fish, hit their first bullseye, or make their first harvest is exhilarating so be sure to invite someone new to ComeWith! you this season.
OSCF’s research has identified that millions of Americans are sitting on the fence waiting to get into the field. They are simply waiting for an invitation from someone they know and trust – someone like you!
To confirm our research findings, we partnered with the Kentucky Dept of Fish & Wildlife and asked their current HATS to invite someone new to ComeWith! them. With just a simple invitation, more than 18,000 first timers accepted the invitation and gave hunting, trapping, and/or target shooting a try.
