This is one of the 4 responsibility events. The kids will be tested in their ability to identify birds, and mammals (at times even reptiles). Participants will walk through a thirty (30) station field and/or woodland course in a natural setting. The course is designed to simulate actual wildlife sign encountered while outdoors.

The Hunting Wildlife Identification Challenge has a maximum possibility of 300 points.
