“When I was considering not hunting or fishing anymore I was afraid I’d lose my connection to the natural world since hunting and fishing was the vehicle that brought me out there on a regular basis. 

Immediately after I quit hunting and fishing I began volunteering time, doing bird, amphibian, bat, and mammal tracking surveys for the state and other agencies. I also got into wildlife photography, kayaking, cross country skiing, hiking, and camping. Instead of being focused on a few species as I was before, I am now focused on learning about and observing all of them. I’m much closer and more engaged with the natural world now than I ever was as a hunter and fisherman and feel so good knowing I’m no longer out there killing and causing harm.” – Kenneth Damro
