Texas Hunter Education Class

TYLER, TEXAS

Date of course: Sunday, 1:30am-6pm

March 6, 2011

Instructor: Steve Russell 903-530-4338

Email: txhuntered@gmail.com

SPECIAL NOTE: This class will definitely be held regardless of pre-registration numbers.

This event is the required field portion of Texas Hunter Education to complete a home study course typically taken on line. This field portion includes ethics, safety, hunter’s skills trail, live fire, and multiple-choice exam elements. Successful completion of this course will fulfill the legal requirement for those desiring to hunt in Texas who were born on or after September 2, 1971, and for those hunting in states outside Texas. Evidence of the home study course in the form of a printed, completed online “practice tests” MUST be turned into the instructor at the end of the field portion, or you may email them to the instructor before class at the email address above; otherwise NO CERTIFICATION WILL BE ISSUED. There are no exceptions! (Email is strongly preferred—save a tree or two!)

DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY ONLINE UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO PAY EXTRA!!! The website for the home study portion is: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/learning/hunter_education/online.phtml . I suggest you take one of the top two, FREE, listed courses. Follow exactly the instructions on either course.

Upon successfully completing the course and final exam with a passing score of 80, a temporary certification will be issued. Texas Parks & Wildlife will mail permanent certification to you within a few weeks. NOTE : You must be nine years old to receive certification for the course.

much of the time just like hunting! Bring bottled water.

What to bring: You MUST bring your printed tests from the online course if they are not emailed. Please bring your own protective equipment (ear plugs and safety glasses.)

Fee: Have cash for Steve Russell in the exact amount of $20.00. This covers the $15.00 class fee set by the State of Texas, plus a $5.00 live fire range fee, targets, and shot shells. (If you bought a hunter education deferral during the current season, bring it with you and turn in for a $5 credit—deferral plus exactly $15.00. I cannot give the $5.00 discount if you do not bring and turn in your deferral.) Under age 18? I will need a legal adult to sign your registration form and a permission slip; adults, don’t drive away until you sign!!!
