Texas hunter education process takes effect

Hunters who need to complete the state’s required hunter education will have expanded contemporary options designed to be more convenient, flexible and accessible.
Anyone born after Sept. 1, 1971, must successfully complete a hunter education training course or purchase a one-time deferral good for one license year in order to hunt legally in Texas. The certification is valid for life and is honored in all other states and provinces.
