Collectible Patch/Print Marks 50 Years Of Hunter Education

To honor 50 years of hunter education, the Game Commission is offering a limited edition patch and fine-art print by George LaVanish, of Tyrone, Blair County.

 

The print, titled Tomorrow's Hunters, depicts and instructor and students in a hunter education training exercise. The companion patch is a thumbnail of the print's theme.
