DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is partnering with the Pass It On - Outdoor Mentors, to expand the Shooting Sports Outreach pilot program.

Hunter Education Coordinator Jamie Cook told KXCV/KRNW that the partnership will create new programs aimed at introducing newer audiences, both adults and youth, to the outdoors to combat the gradual hunting decline since the 1980s.
