It looks like the classes are few and far between. I wonder if anyone here on the forum does the classes for people...?

I'm an instructor, but a long ways from DFW. You can take a portion of it online, but still must complete the required Skills portion of the course. I found a couple Homestudy/Online courses in Flower Mound, but you'll still have to complete the Skills portion. One of them is tonight at 6pm. Flower Mound November 26, 2008 6:00 p.m. (972) 949-4180 Flower Mound November 30, 2008 6:00 p.m. (972) 949-4180 Here you go to go the online/homestudy portion before the class. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/learning/hunter_education/homestudy/index.phtmlGood Luck!!

You can self study online but you still have to go in for one day instead of 2.

After being very disappointed with the class my daughter and I took here in the Houston area, I've decided to become an instructor. I thought the training material was excellent and gave plenty of opportunities for the instructor to keep the participants engaged.

I am an instructor an try to teach one class per year. This is basically a volunteer thing to give back to a sport that I have enjoyed for a long time. I have done class room and the filed course for online students. My favorite is the field course. It starts of with a welcome, filling out paperwork, a laws and ethics presentation then the final exam. After the final exam I will take all who met the criteria set by TPWD to a friend of mines property close to town for a live fire event (target practice) and hunter skills trail. My hunter skills trail includes safe carry of a fire arm (in vehicle, two man fence cross, one man fence cross, entering and exiting elevated blind) and blood trailing a wounded deer. This latter is a favorite of kids and adults alike. I use a fake blood that looks real and set up a realistic blood trail with a deer decoy at the end of trail. I enjoy teaching the class but I do it at my own schedule. With my work I stay very busy and have to make time to teach a class between summer and hunting season. Once hunting season starts I dont want to teach another one because I would like to spend my spare time in the deer blind. I advertise my class on TPWD and also fliers around town. I am lucky to get 15 students but as soon as class is over and hunting season starts I get a lot of phone calls begging me to do another one. Go to TPWD website and look under education you will find a list of open classes.
