YHEC bloghttp://www.yhec.orgTue, 07 Sep 2010 21:14:50 GMTLooking Forward to 2010http://www.yhec.org/looking-forward-to-2010-blogSun, 31 Jan 2010 22:01:12 GMTYHECI have watched youth from this state grow up in the NRA/OK Youth Hunter Education Challenge program.  I can tell you that they are some of the most well mannered, responsible and fun kids to be around.  It has been such a great experience for me to be involved in this program.  The main goal of the program is to pass on the heritage of hunting to the next generation.  The youth who participate in this program have the opportunity to try out their skills against other youth and to gain knowledge in which to improve and build their skills as they compete.  The best part about the program to me is to see the friendships that are formed between the participants who come from different parts of the state.  These kids look forward to the next event so that they can catch up with their friends for some friendly competition.

I would like to personally thank all of the volunteers throughout the State of Oklahoma who are such a vital part of the YHEC program.  Without the dedication and commitment of these fine people, the program would not exist.  Thank you to the Friends of the National Rifle Association Oklahoma committees for their hard work in fundraising throughout the years, because of their efforts the YHEC program has been successful in acquiring grant money to assist in running the state-wide events.  Thank you to all of our sponsors who are listed on our website.  Your generous support is most appreciated.  

Looking forward to a successful 2010 NRA/OKYHEC season!

Hunter education covers a variety of topics including firearms safety, wildlife identification, wildlife conservation and management, survival, archery, muzzleloading and hunter responsibility. It is available as a standard  eight-hour course, the internet home study course and the workbook home study course.

Why Hunter Education?

Over the past 30 years, hunting related accidents and fatalities have declined by more than 70 percent in Oklahoma. Officials with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) say mandatory hunter education courses have not only reduced accidents within Oklahoma, but also in every state and Canadian province with similar programs.
