What is
Junior Pro Team?
The Junior Pro Team (JPT) is part of the Outdoor News family, built around one idea: young hunters, anglers, and shooting sports athletes who take the outdoors seriously deserve a team of their own. It’s a resource, a community, and a stage — a place for kids 18 and under to grow into the next generation of outdoor pros.
Joining takes just a minute — sign up as a JPT member and you’re plugged into the full JPT social channels, eligible for member-only contests and giveaways, and part of a crew that shares tips, gear finds, and their best moments outdoors all year round. Once you’re in, show us what you’ve got: submit your photos and videos to be featured and tag your posts with #JPTFishing or #JPTHunting to get seen by the team.
Use #JPTFishing or #JPTHunting.

Show Us Your
Photos
This is where your best days outdoors get their spotlight. Post your photos and videos to Instagram and tag #JPTFishing or #JPTHunting — every trophy buck, every giant walleye, every full stringer counts. Think your hunt or catch tops the feed? Prove it.
Tagged posts get pulled into JPT’s official channels and featured right here on the site for the whole team to see. Follow the hashtags to catch the freshest highlights from your fellow JPT teammates — monster hookups, perfect shots, sunrise sits, and everything in between. Jump into the comments, swap tips, and hype each other up. Your next big idea might come from a post you see tonight.
No social media? No problem. Submit your photos and videos directly and we’ll feature your moment so the whole team can see it.
