Why we need your help?

In talking to various people across the outdoor industry, we know that access impedes newcomers from becoming involved in hunting and fishing. While we agree, we think there is a much larger issue – opportunity. Our passion for the outdoors isn’t being introduced to a wide spectrum of today’s youth. This omission even extends to those with the education and means to pursue the twin passions of hunting and fishing.

Let’s face it. Most students in our schools know little or nothing of the outdoors.

LSONF means to change that, regardless of gender, race, or economic background. But we need your help, and we believe it’s in your best interest to help us. These soon-to-be graduates will find passions that excite them and spend their discretionary income in their pursuit. There is no reason that hunting and fishing shouldn’t be among their passions.

LSONF aims to provide opportunities for children and young adults to develop a passion for the outdoors, targeting individuals who will become future license holders in Texas.

It’s our hope that from buying their first fishing rod to purchasing a Texas hunting ranch, former students will fondly look back and say, “If it weren’t for LSONF I wouldn’t be standing here today.”
