A primary supporter of hunter education programs is often state wildlife agencies or departments of natural resources. These organizations, along with non-profit groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), play a significant role in promoting and supporting hunter education. They are focused on teaching new hunters how to safely and responsibly engage in hunting, while also conserving wildlife and ensuring public safety.
Additionally, The International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) is a global organization that works with local governments and wildlife agencies to promote hunter safety education programs. These programs teach skills such as proper firearm handling, hunting laws, ethics, and safety protocols.
