Education That Carries Forward

Hunter Education is about more than completing a course. It helps build the knowledge, responsibility and respect that hunters carry with them into the field.

01

Safety

Helping promote safe practices in the field, at the range and wherever hunters gather.

02

Responsibility

Encouraging knowledgeable, responsible hunters who understand their role in the outdoors.

03

Education

Supporting the volunteer instructors who teach Hunter Education throughout Texas.

04

Tradition

Helping pass hunting knowledge, ethics and outdoor traditions to future generations.

Hunter Education
Makes a Difference

Certified instructors are at the heart of the Texas Hunter Education Program.

Volunteer instructors help students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to become safe and responsible hunters. THEIA exists to support those instructors and the important work they do in communities throughout Texas.
