Lauren Tonti, from New York’s Southern Tier, is an instructor for Becoming and Outdoors Woman who teaches field dressing and hunter education. Fresh off the 2025 program, she discusses how she became a hunter as an adult and how she shares her passion with others. Along with BOW, Lauren just passed her NYS Licensed Guide exam, and is involved with two other groups; one that supports non-lead hunting and fishing alternatives and another that helps those from under-served communities get outdoors.
