Texas Youth Hunting Program

The TYHP gives new hunters the chance to get to know other hunters and enjoy a fun recreational activity. TYHP hunts Saturdays for all of the day, which is a major advantage over other hunting programs. It also allows for more time for bonding with others and having fun. TYHP places a high priority on mentoring and training young hunters. Hunts for youth take place on private property. Adults supervise the hunts.

TYHP is the nation's gold standard

The TYHP model has been a winning formula since its inception in 2007. While TYHP focuses on whitetail deer, landowners allow the young hunters to pursue many different species. Hunting styles include stationary blinds and archery. Participants have the option to pursue common species, or those that are rare and/or exclusive. The first TYHP hunt was for a pronghorn, which required 10 landowners to donate a permit.


TYHP now offers adult mentored hunts. This program is designed for mature hunters. It has a track record that has proven to change lives. Although hunting license sales have decreased dramatically in recent years and hunting advocacy groups are trying to ban hunting, TYHP's mission and vision have never wavered. Many people feel disconnected from nature due to technology and urbanization.

How To

How to build deer blinds

A deerblind is a type hunting device used for hiding from game animals, such as deer, elk, and so on. It is usually made from wood or canvas and covered with branches or leaves. The hunter hides in the enclosure and waits to see if the animal passes. For hunting at night, deer blinds are often used.

There are many types of deer blinds. Some are portable while others are permanent structures. These structures are usually made of plywood, cardboard, plastic or canvas and metal.

The most common type of deer blinds is box blinds (also known as box stands). These blinds consist of a box made of wood with walls and a roof. Because they are easy-to-assemble and transport, boxes are very popular.

A tree stand, another type deer blind, is also available. Tree stands can be made natural to appear natural, so people won't suspect that they are there. Most tree stands are permanently attached to trees.

Ground blinds are another type. They are similar to tree stands but are built into ground. Ground blinds are often camouflaged with grass, dirt, rocks, or sand. Ground blinds are also known as "groundboxes".

There are several different ways to hunt with a deer blind. The first is to wait for the animal, then sit still. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. If you choose this method, make sure you stay quiet and don't move too much. This could cause the animal to believe you are a predator and make them run.

You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. Pick a spot where there is no wind to blow your scent towards the animal. Avoid areas where people frequently hike.

Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
