texastrophies Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 The Texas Youth Hunting Program (TYHP) offers hunts all over the state for youth hunters at different privately owned ranches. The game that is being hunted varies from doves & ducks to whitetails, exotics and even turkeys. I visited their website a few days ago and saw they were offering a cow elk hunt in New Mexico. The youth had to write a less than 500 word essay explaining what hunting means to them. The deadline to submit was at 3:00 pm today. At about 7:00 pm, I got a call that he had been selected. So we will be leaving on Christmas day with one other kid that was selected and going to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Ranch in New Mexico for a 4 day cow elk hunt with a muzzleloader. Here is a link to the ranch, looks pretty nice. http://www.rmef.org/Hunting/TWC/Hunt/ The really good thing about this is that it is at no cost to the hunter or his parent (ME). Not to mention that the timing of being notified works out pretty good also. It will help brighten the next few days up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
