The Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) have joined forces to offer youth hunts that are safe, educational, and very affordable. We sponsor introductory, instructive youth hunts for a variety of species. We provide mentors, lodging, and meals. Hunter Education is required for youth to participate, find classes at https://tpwd.texas.gov/education/hunter-education/
Please consider giving the gift of hunting through a tax deductible donation that will be used to provide memorable experiences that expose Texans to nature, conservation, and responsible and safe hunting. The Texas Youth Hunting Program (TYHP) takes over a thousand youths and their adult companion on hunts every season. For many participants, this is their first opportunity to explore nature's classroom and most become life-long supporters of Texas' rich natural resources. TYHP teaches all participants about the important role that landowners and hunters play in wildlife conservation. Donate here https://www.texas-wildlife.org/ways-to-give-twaf/

If you already have a Youth Hunter Account but cannot remember your user name please do not set up another account. Contact the TYHP office for assistance.
