>> HUNTING IS A PART
OF OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE.
OUR FOREFATHERS WERE
ORIGINALLY SUBSISTENCE HUNTERS.
TODAY HUNTING HAS BECOME A SAFE,
FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITY THAT
MANY TEXANS PARTICIPATE IN
YEAR ROUND.
>> TAKE 'EM, TAKE 'EM NOW!
GET OUT IN FRONT OF 'EM!
OH, GOOD SHOT, GOOD SHOT.
>> HUNTING IS A SAFE ACTIVITY
AND CONTINUES TO GET SAFER.
ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THIS
IS OUR MANDATORY HUNTER
EDUCATION LAWS.
ANY PERSON BORN AFTER
SEPTEMBER 2, 1971,
IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE
IN A HUNTER EDUCATION COURSE
PRIOR TO GOING AFIELD.
>> WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU
DO WHEN YOU PICK UP A FIREARM?
>> THESE COURSES ARE HELD
YEAR ROUND ALL ACROSS THE STATE.
A COURSE LISTING CAN BE
OBTAINED FROM OUR WEB SITE
OR JUST CONTACT THE NEAREST
HUNTER EDUCATION SPECIALIST
IN YOUR AREA.
>> OKAY, THAT WAS IN HIS ZONE
OF FIRE,
THAT WAS A SAFE SHOT.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS HUNTER
EDUCATION HAS BEEN SO
SUCCESSFUL IN TEXAS IS BECAUSE
OF THE QUALITY AND COMMITMENT
OF OUR VOLUNTEER HUNTER
EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS.
>> SO IS THIS A SHOOT OR
DON'T SHOOT SITUATION NOW?
>> ACROSS THE STATE WE HAVE
APPROXIMATELY THREE THOUSAND
INSTRUCTORS HELPING TO INSURE
THE SAFETY OF TODAY'S HUNTERS
AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF
HUNTERS.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THIS
ELITE GROUP OF INSTRUCTORS
AND LEAVE YOUR MARK ON
OUR HUNTING HERITAGE,

EDUCATION STAFF MEMBER IN YOUR
