The TYHP allows new hunters to hunt while having fun. Unlike other hunting programs, TYHP hunts last all day Saturday, meaning more time for bonding and conversation. TYHP also prioritizes the mentoring and training of young hunters. Hunts for youth take place on private property. Adults supervise the hunts.
TYHP is the nation's gold standard
Since its inception in 2007, the TYHP Model has proven to be a successful model. While TYHP focuses primarily upon whitetail deer but landowners allow young hunters to pursue other species. You can hunt in stationary blinds or archery. Participants can also choose between pursuing everyday species and those that are rare or exclusive. The first TYHP hunt was conducted for a pronghorn. Ten landowners were required to give permits.
TYHP has expanded its offerings to include mentored hunting for adults. This program is designed for mature hunters. It has a track record that has proven to change lives. Despite the fact that hunting license sales have declined dramatically over recent years, and many hunting advocacy groups are trying ban hunting altogether, TYHP has never lost sight of its mission and vision. Technology and urbanization have caused many people to lose their connection with nature.

How To
How to make a Deer Blind
A deer blind is an example of a hunting device that hides game animals such deer, elk and others. It usually consists of an enclosed area made of wood or canvas that is covered with branches, leaves, and sometimes covered with leaves. The hunter then hides within the enclosure, waiting for the animal to move by. When hunting at night, a deer blind is frequently used.
There are many options for deer blinds. Some are portable while others are permanent structures. They are made from materials such as plywood, cardboard and plastic.
The most common types of deer blinds are box blinds (also called box stands), which consist of a wooden box with a roof and walls. Boxes are popular due to their ease of construction and transportation.
A tree stand can also be used as a deer blind. Tree stands look natural and are so natural that nobody would be able to tell they exist. Most tree stands are permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds are also available, which look similar to tree stand but are built into a ground. Ground blinds can often be disguised with dirt, rocks, sand, or grass. Ground blinds can also be called "ground boxes".
There are several ways to hunt with deer blinds. You can wait for the animal's approach by sitting still. Another way is to move around and try to scare the animal away. If you decide to use this method, be sure to keep your distance and not move too fast. This could lead the animal to think you're a predator and run off.
You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. The best place to use a deer blind is one where the wind will not blow your scent towards it. Avoid areas where people often hike.
You should also know how to set up the blind properly. This is because you don't want the animal to run away from you.
