This "Hunting 101" course is a TYHP Adventure Hunt Skills 101 Workshop, designed for youth ages 13-17 who wish to participate in TYHP Adventure Hunts.  Please note the registration process is for youth only - the parent or guardian who would likely accompany the youth on a hunt is encouraged to attend but is not required to register. The goal of the Adventure Hunt Skills 101 Workshop is to prepare youth for successful experiences on Adventure Hunts by providing foundational knowledge of game animals that may be pursued, equipment that may be required or recommended, and proper preparation for such a hunt, including development of advanced shooting skills.
