Texas Youth Hunting Program

The TYHP allows new hunters to hunt while having fun. Unlike other hunting programs, TYHP hunts last all day Saturday, meaning more time for bonding and conversation. TYHP places a high priority on mentoring and training young hunters. Hunts on private property are reserved for youth hunters. Therefore, adults are responsible for supervising 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 mainly on whitetail deer hunts, landowners let young hunters pursue other species. Hunting styles vary from stationary blinds, to archery. Participants can also choose whether to pursue rare or endangered species. The first TYHP hunt was for a pronghorn, which required 10 landowners to donate a permit.


TYHP's adult mentored shooting program is now available. This program is for mature hunters. It has a proven track record in changing lives. Despite declining hunting license sales in recent decades and hunting advocacy organizations trying to ban hunting, TYHP’s mission and vision has not wavered. Many people have lost touch with nature because of urbanization and technology.

Adult supervision is necessary.

You must be accompanied by an adult older than 16 years old while participating in the Texas youth hunt program. To hunt in Texas, you will need an adult license.
