The YHEC is a program developed exclusively
for hunter education course graduates from North America
up to 19 years of age. YHEC provides graduates with
a unique opportunity to test their abilities at a variety
of hunting techniques. Through completing a series of
events conducted under simulated hunting conditions,
participants walk away with an appreciation of all methods
of hunting and gain a knowledge of all types of game
as they learn from the top hunting educators in all
of North America. This training ensures the future of
the American hunting tradition as a safe, viable, recreational
activity the entire family can enjoy.
After completing a hunter education course,
youths wishing to participate in YHEC begin working
with volunteer instructors/ coordinators to take part
in local, state or provincial – level programs. Though
participants are scored and ranked in all YHEC events,
the program's competitive edge is diminished as the
real "challenge" focuses on personal improvement. Therefore,
in addition to the top-ranked individuals and teams
drawn from the thousands of annual competitors in state
YHEC, all are invited to participate in the annual NRA
International YHEC. Conducted in cooperation with the
International Hunter Education Association, the event
rotates in location throughout the United States to
ensure the greatest number of participants.
