In This Issue: New HE Staff Hire, H E Instructor Conf., Events & More
Photo L to R: CLFT Instructor, Coley Cooper and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Licensing and Grants staff members, Flora Drury and Angela Dionne, and me on "quail hunt day" during the recent CLFT workshop in Georgia (see article below).
2025 begins a NEW ERA in Hunter Education in Texas. Staff transitions mean new management, new ideas, new talents/skills and new attitudes -- a continued growth in an historic effort (50+ years) in Texas to improve safe, legal and ethical behaviors afield. The three outcomes of 1) reduced accidents, 2) increased compliance to outdoor/landowner rules and 3) decreased wounding loss, mean REAL success for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and its staff and VOLUNTEERS, who have paved the way for this hallmark CONSERVATION EDUCATION program.
After retirement in May, I plan to stay involved, going back to my roots as a hunter education VOLUNTEER in both Colorado and Texas - "In It for LIFE!"
Godspeed going forward, you'll be in good hands -- we'll introduce you to the new Hunter Education Coordinator in the April issue of Target Talk!

WELCOME Daniel!
Texas Shooting Sports Coordinator
With the vacancy created when Morgan Harbison moved over the State Parks Division to become a Park Police Officer, Texas hired a new position called SHOOTING SPORTS COORDINATOR. Please WELCOME Daniel Stedman - Conroe! Along with keeping WHIZ-Bang and Ag Clays going in Texas, Daniel will take on the challenge of growing the Student Air Rifle Program in Texas, similar to when Hunter Education hired Burnie Kessner in 2006, to take on the fledgling National Archery in Schools Program and take it to greater heights -- starting the success it has become today!
Daniel is a proud veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and a 2018 graduate of Sam Houston State University. He enjoys hunting, fishing, and shooting sports. He is passionate about conservation and sharing the beauty of Texas' natural resources with others.

In January, I served, again, on the national Conservation Leaders for Tomorrow (CLFT) team -- this time at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center near Mansfield, Georgia. Federal and state fish and wildlife agency professionals from throughout the United States attend the week-long training to become more familiar with hunting and hunter's role in conservation. Qualifying professionals are those who know little about hunting, but who deal with hunters within their agency mission and/or job duties. They gain hunter education certification and learn about hunting demographics, conservation history and the dollars generated through Pittman Robertson excise taxes collected from hunters and target shooters. They also learn about how to hunt - trying it themselves - as part of a full experience. While the goal is not necessarily to turn them into hunters, it helps them better understand and empathize with an activity that is a "way of life' for many. It gives them first-hand knowledge and skills and changes their attitudes to a high degree. For some participants, it changes their lives immediately. For an instructor, it is extremely rewarding to see the transition that takes place.

 Conservation Leaders for Tomorrow - A Program of the Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation and state and federal fish & wildlife agencies.
 Rusty Garrison (L), former Georgia DNR Director of Wildlife, led the recent CLFT Workshop with 16 fish & wildlife agency participants, who learned many aspects of hunter education and hunting, including participating in a Southern-style hunt for the "Prince of Birds," as Garrison puts it -- the beautiful bobwhite quail!
CLFT - Eccles Wildlife Education Center. Farmington, UT
Just as Steve Hall served as national instructor for Conservation Leaders for Tomorrow (CLfT) in Georgia (see above), Monica Bickerstaff, N TX Hunter Education Specialist (R in photo), serves as a national CLFT Instructor, one of four Texans who instructed at the CLfT program at Utah Division of Wildlife Resources’ Eccles Wildlife Education Center.
One of her many duties as instructor, Bickerstaff guided and mentored two participants, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. This is where wildlife professionals get to 'try hunting' themselves as 'part of a full CLFT experience'.
One of Bickerstaff’s hunters (Ashley - photo above) summed it up perfectly, “I came into the week knowing very little about hunting, but eager to learn more. I learned a lot about gun safety (muzzle control!!!), hunting laws and ethics, and the role of hunting in conservation. However, what surprised me was how much I learned about the people who hunt. Each instructor brought his/her unique experiences and passion. They were eager to share with us -- with impressive patience and consideration. For most of us, shooting guns and going hunting was a big step outside our comfort zones. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to take that step with the support and encouragement of these seasoned professionals. Monica was my mentor on the hunt, and I am so thankful to her!"
|
On the last day of the week-long workshop instructors and participants are afforded opportunity to share "lasting impressions" from the intense week spent together. Many of the instructors share just how much it means to them to witness the transformation experienced by participants. Instructors are very thankful to have made such a positive contribution. It is rewarding to each instructor to see how our passion for hunting, shooting and conservation have enhanced participant attitudes. We realize we’re helping to improve the overall profession as we improve peoples’ lives. We truly are making a change – “One person at a time!”

Conservation Equity Partners (CEP) hosted Texas Parks and Wildlife and Trappers and Fur Hunters Association (TTFHA) for the 32nd Annual Trapping 101. A total of 19 participants and staff harvested predators coyotes, bobcats, raccoons and an opossum. TTFHA Education Committee members, Earle Blakney - Irving (3rd from R - back), and Keith Jackson - Alto (2nd from R), were joined by Mike Bodenchuk, TTFHA President, for this year’s workshop. Brock Minton (R), South TX Hunter Education Specialist, commented “This was one the best workshops I’ve seen! Participants were engaging and really wanted to learn and participate.”
 CEP’s Principal, Terry Anderson, purchases unmanaged land that has been forested or been in oil and gas production and restores the native habitat and wildlife. Cherokee Ridge has seen several TYHP hunts and TPWD events over the past decade. The management initiatives of CEP will be featured in Texas Monthly as a conservation partner. Participants joyfully answered questions from a Texas Monthly reporter observing the workshop. Below, Mike Bodenchuk demonstrates a trap set. Thanks, Mike, and TTFHA for another great experience!

Hunter/Bowhunter Education Instructor, Rob Neilson - Cypress, President of the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation (ABF), who, along with Bob Barnette, N TX Field Director for the Texas Youth Hunting Program, will be on hand at the upcoming THEIA Hunter Education Conference (see above), hosting a training of the ABF on reducing wounding loss while bowhunting. As shown here on a turkey hunt, sharpening up a single bevel broadhead, Rob recently penned in his February 2025 Newsletter, "Being an ethical bowhunter is about far more than just the thrill of the hunt or the satisfaction of filling your freezer; it's about respecting the animals you pursue and ensuring that your actions lead to a quick, clean kill. At the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation, we firmly believe that the foundation of ethical bowhunting is understanding how to deliver a quick, lethal blow effectively and efficiently to the game you're pursuing."...
At the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation, we firmly believe that the foundation of ethical bowhunting is understanding how to deliver a quick, lethal blow effectively and efficiently to the game you're pursuing.

 ..."The many years of research and reports from hunters in the field have shown that using a properly matched arrow system for the game pursued is the most reliable and ethical approach for achieving deep, consistent penetration, even through the toughest anatomical structures. Adding mass to your arrow system allows for greater momentum and inertia, which, when coupled with a properly built, razor sharp single bevel broadhead, ensures that the arrow maintains its energy throughout its flight and upon impact, delivers a deep and decisive wound that reaches vital organs quickly. This combination maximizes your chances of making a quick, clean, ethical kill and minimizes the risk of prolonged suffering, which is at the heart of what we define as ethical bowhunting." - Rob Neilson, President
Photo: Tammy Hudson, who was also featured in the February edition of the Ashby Bowhunting Foundation, has been a bowhunter for 10 years. She said, "My favorite (hunt) so far has been my Cape buffalo with my bow. Rob Neilson built my arrows for this hunt and it was spot on! One (1) arrow and done.!" She added, "“I know that if I hit a bone, it’s OK -- they’re gonna go right through it. The Cape Buffalo and Water Buffalo speak volumes for my heavy arrow set up.”

Hog Hunting 101
- Abilene State Park
An arctic blast ushered in the 5th Annual Hog Hunting 101 & Mentor Hunt in February. Five (5) hunters harvested a total of six (6) hogs throughout the weekend. Texas Women Outdoors (TWO) founder Kelly Godfrey - Commanche, and TWO member, Sandi Wilson - Odessa, both Hunter Education Instructors, served as mentors/guides along with Brock Minton, S TX Hunter Education Specialist, who guided Nick Harrison - Austin (photo) to his first ever hog (and his second!), and Area Chief Hunter Education Instructors, Gary Riddle - San Angelo, and Gary and Kathy Glass - Eola. Kathy made sure everyone was well fed and kept the coffee pot brewing throughout the cold weekend. The hog hunt is part of Lake Abilene State Park’s Feral Management Plan. Candyce Johnson, Lake Abilene SP Superintendent, said, “I think hunting is a valuable and necessary tool for wildlife and habitat management. I enjoy hosting our whitetail and hog hunts.” If you would like to participate, next year’s hunt dates are March 20-22, 2026. Mentors are needed for the hunt! Contact Randy.spradlin@tpwd.texas.gov.

Young Hunter Success with TYHP
"I received a message from Tom Spillman whose daughter would have to cancel her Texas Youth Hunting Program (TYHP) 'First Timers' TYHP hunt in Palo Pinto. (She missed the opportunity to attend a hunter education.) With some help from the ranch manager and having the dad commit to arriving at the hunt early, she was able to complete the FREE online course and my FIELD course, including the final exam, prior to the hunt. Thankfully, it all worked out and 9-year-old Karoline harvested her first animal. I'm so happy we were able to make this happen for her and her dad. She has a lifetime memory to share."

Over the Counter (OTC) Archery Elk Licenses No Longer Available
Colorado Parks and Wildlife changing license process for non-residents archers.
Attention nonresident (e.g., Texas) hunters!
If you plan to hunt the archery elk season in Colorado this year, you may want to consider applying in the primary draw beginning March 1. Beginning this year, OTC archery elk licenses will not be available for nonresidents in game management units (GMUs) west of I-25 and GMU 140. To address crowding concerns during the archery season, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission decided to eliminate these unlimited licenses for nonresidents in select GMUs. Following this decision, a new set of limited license hunt codes were created specifically for nonresidents. These new hunt codes contain a ‘V’.
See page 42-43 of the 2025 Big Game brochure for all archery elk hunt codes.
Please plan ahead and consider applying for these new nonresident limited licenses through the primary draw that begins March 1, or if available, the secondary draw that begins June 19. Remaining limited licenses may be available to purchase beginning August 5 as part of the leftover and reissue process.
 Important Dates to Remember
- Primary draw period begins March 1, 2025.
- Primary draw deadline is April 1, 2025 at 8 p.m. MT.
- Secondary draw period begins June 19, 2025.
- Secondary draw deadline is June 30, 2025 at 8 p.m. MT.
- Over the Counter (OTC) and remaining limited licenses go on sale starting August 5, 2025 at 9 a.m. MT.
Remember that a qualifying license (annual small game OR turkey) is required to apply for the primary or secondary draw. Qualifying licenses and big-game draw applications are available at cpwshop.com.

Defining Conservation: Protecting Wildlife and Habitats - Working together for the benefits of the natural world.
By Tom Ryle - Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (taken from The Hunting Wire - February 24th Issue)
...A brief history
It is difficult to discuss conservation in America without reference to President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) and Aldo Leopold(1887-1948), among a long list of other architects of its philosophy and framework.
In the early years of the United States, there were few laws protecting fish and wildlife. Many wildlife populations declined significantly due to unregulated market hunting and habitat loss. Some species faced extinction, while other populations were severely reduced." READ MORE - Hunting Wire Archives

 "Since time immemorial, humans have had an intimate connection to land, water, and wildlife. This remains true today in the United States and around the world. Historically, humankind depended on the landscape and natural resources to survive and multiply. People were part of the ecosystem, not observers of it, and their deep understanding of and respect for nature laid the foundation for the conservation ethic we recognize today...
