Experience the Journey of the Hunt
Human Nature Hunting School
Build Your Hunting Skills. Deepen Your Connection.
There's More to the Wild Than Watching From the Sidelines.
We offer hands-on experiences for those ready to deepen their relationship with the natural world through hunting and gathering.
Whether you're new to hunting or looking to build your skills, our courses offer practical instruction, a deeper understanding of the land, and a community of people learning to participate more fully in the natural world. Human Nature Hunting has started over a decade ago, and has facilitated courses for people that come from all over the world.
AWAKEN THE HUNTER
Our signature 5-day immersion course.
Modern life can distance us from the rhythms of the natural world. The Awaken the Hunter course invites you to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover the senses and instincts that come alive when we step into the role of hunter.
Over five immersive days, you’ll learn to read the landscape, recognize wildlife sign, move with greater awareness, and develop the practical skills to hunt ethically and independently. Through hands-on instruction, time in the field, and a community of fellow learners, you’ll explore not only how to hunt, but what it means to be human in relationship with the land and the food that sustains us.
This is more than learning to hunt. It’s an opportunity to see, feel, and experience the natural world with a new level of awareness.

HUMANS + NATURE
STRENGTHENING OUR CONNECTION
Having relied for thousands of years on our innate senses and instincts to interpret landscapes, find food, survive, and thrive, humans are still equipped with powerful instinctual abilities to connect with nature. Due to our rapidly changing lifestyles and reduced opportunities for direct interaction with our ecosystem these senses are often lying dormant.
Hunting and gathering offer a unique way of interacting with our environment – by moving from observer to direct participant in the natural drama of life that unfolds around us. This once commonplace experience provides a unique opportunity to awaken our innate senses and connect to our own instinctual energy and ability, which can be profoundly useful in all aspects of life and broaden the experience of being human.
For the Love of the Land
Our Mission is to:
Heal and strengthen the bonds between humans and nature to the point we realize we are nature.
Foster sound stewardship by becoming direct participants in our ecosystem.
Instill confidence and knowledge in new hunters so they can reconnect to their hunting heritage.
Awaken our innate senses through conscious hunting and gathering.
Create a life-changing experience, or at least a foundation for lifelong learning.
Make hunting more accessible to people who have faced historic and ongoing barriers to the outdoors.

“Transformative… Changed my opinion of hunters…”
“Pivotal to my moving forward with the decision to hunt…”
“A masterful job of demystifying the hunt while also capturing the primal timelessness of why we do it…”
