TPW TV–Adult Onset Hunting

This is Passport to Texas
During fall hunting season we join with friends and family in the field. Skill and luck ensure that we bring home quality protein for the table. But not everyone has someone to teach them, which is why TPW offers mentored hunting programs.
We have lots of youth hunting programs around the state. But there just aren’t many opportunities for adults.
Until now, says Justin Dreibelbis, who oversees private lands and public hunting at Texas Parks and Wildlife.
So this is an opportunity for them to come out, take part in a hunt, learn from experienced hunters and be able to take those skills back to their friends and families so they can go hunting.
In an upcoming segment of the Texas Parks and Wildlife TV series we follow a group of adult-onset hunters, including first-time hunter Kristen Rodgers.
It was great; unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a deer on my side but had an amazing mentor. It was quite an experience. It was something if anybody else out there really wanted to do, I would highly recommend it. It took the scary away from hunting, and for me it kind of gave me that knowledge to make me a little more comfortable I guess.
The mentored hunt segment is on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Television series the week of September 8 on PBS.
