Camp Ripley, home to over 53,000 acres of prime Minnesota wilderness, is famous for hosting one of the largest organized public archery hunts in the United States. Now, thanks to iSportsman, accessing this prestigious hunting opportunity has never been easier. This year, Camp Ripley has fully adopted the iSportsman service, offering a seamless process for hunters to view, apply for, and manage their hunting permits online. iSportsman makes the application process easy. This allows you to spend less time worrying about paperwork and more time hunting. But that’s not all — iSportsman helps Ripley maintain its top training priorities while continuing to provide world-class recreational opportunities.

How iSportsman Enhances Hunting at Camp Ripley

With iSportsman, the camp can manage the logistics of large-scale hunting events with minimal interference to military training operations. Hunters can now access and apply for permits directly through the platform, view real-time updates on available areas, and even select specific hunting zones through the iSportsman service. This allows the public archery hunt, which has traditionally drawn numerous hunters from across the United States, remains safe, organized, and accessible without disrupting the camp’s essential military training.

Streamlined Camp Ripley Permit Process for 2024

The new permit process for archery hunting is one of the standout features Ripley is excited to unveil this year. The Down The Barrel podcast recently featured an in-depth episode titled New Archery Hunting Process at Camp Ripley with Jake Kitzmann, where Jake Kitzmann, Camp Ripley’s Natural Resource Manager, details the updated steps required to obtain a permit. Now, Hunters can submit applications online through iSportsman, review camping regulations, and ensure they’re up to speed on safety guidelines before setting foot in the field.

Kitzmann also joined another podcast episode, The NEW Camp Ripley Public Archery Hunt | RULES, to discuss significant changes to the hunt for 2024. iSportsman is at the center of these updates. This allows hunters to quickly navigate the new rules and enjoy a hassle-free experience at the camp.

Recreational Opportunities Beyond Hunting

While archery hunting remains a major draw, Ripley offers a range of outdoor activities for all nature enthusiasts. Whether you’re interested in hiking or fishing, iSportsman opens the door to the outdoors. The platform allows you to access trail maps and stay informed about the latest recreational opportunities available. With over 53,000 acres to explore, there’s plenty of opportunities at Camp Ripley.

How iSportsman Supports Camp Ripley’s Mission

With iSportsman, the camp has found the perfect solution to balance recreational access and military readiness. iSportsman allows Ripley to host hunting events while prioritizing hunter and personnel safety. This maintains Camp Ripley’s reputation as a premier hunting destination. Plus, it minimizes disruptions to the essential training that takes place on the grounds.
