The Dallas area IBEP Instructor group is planning an IBEP Bowhunter Ed class for Martin Creek Lake State Park on February 24th and 25th. This will be a combined Student/Instructor class. Some of the employees of the Martin Creek Lake State Park and TPWD employees in the surrounding area are going to take the instructor course. Several of the instructors in the Dallas area are Master Instructors and will be helping out with this class. Bowhunter Ed is expanding into East Texas!

Several members of the Executive Council (EC) are IBEP Certified Bowhunter Ed instructors or have completed the class. We encourage all LSBA members to take the course. It's important that the membership know that the EC strongly supports Bowhunter Education.

I think it's a great gesture on Jack's part to donate $10 per student to the LSBA. We need all the students we can get so Jack has to write a big check!


Thanks Jack!

JJ, I would like to sign up and take both courses if Between you and H4H can keep me reminded. Also I'll get with you on some other questions as they come up. I'm just south of you in Alvin. I'll see if I can round up a few more also. (281)703-8257 Thanks, Steve

Dangit! That's the weekend of the Fudd Hunt in San Angelo...yes, I know that we're driving across the state to bowhunt rabbits...but I promised my nephew(5) he was goin'....so, he is goin'. :wink:



Is that the only scheduled combined class up here this year, Bob?

I admit that I've also had work schedule problems in the past that would have prevented me from being much help to a teaching group. I have more flexability at work now and could participate more on the weekends.

I am here in the conroe area, When I put a class together I had 5 people show up. I received several calls and when it came down to taking the class only five showed up and two of those were my wife and daughter. I guess some people do not care about bowhunter ed as long as they are not hunting the few areas which require it.

Injun,

I've got plenty of room in the class in Friendswood. That class will be a combined class on February 24 & 25. The cost for the student portion is $15 per person and the instructor portion is free. I supply all of the materials. All you would bring is you bow and field tipped arrows on Sunday. You will need to send me a check to reserve a spot in the class. PM me and I'll send you my mailing address and phone number. Let me know names, phone numbers and e-mails of all that would be attending.

Jack

While Bullis has made IBEP Certification Mandatory, we're not getting the volume of students we had in the past. To increase interest we started working with Sportsman's Warehouse, and our pro shop. Anyone who purchased a bow receives an IBEP brochure (Wadsworth pamphlet) and a copy of our course schedule. We started this last July and ended up with 20 students from the effort at Sportsman's Warehouse alone. We're going to try it again this year and will include the area NWTF fund raisers to see what else we can draw.

I think we might be able to get a plug or two in on an episode or two couple of a 'bowhunting' TV show -- not 100% certain yet, but relatively confident.

Rick, I know the feeling. The Houston area has never been real active but I've had to cancel at least one class for the last 2 years due to a lack of interest. Dena has started to include the IBEP pamphlet in all of the new/renewal LSBA membership packs and I believe the LSBA has agreed to give a $5 discount on membership to new graduates of the IBEP course. I'm teaching a class at the BassPro shop in Katy as a result of LSBA activities out there. We are generating more interest now if we can only get that to transform into students it will be great. It just seems that I'm traveling more again with the classes.

Travel, yipes! At least we're not having to travel to hold our classes.

We'd probably be in undated with students if TPW would make having a Certification mandatory to hunt the WMA's.

Have you had any luck with the Urban Bowhunting initiative? I'm going to try generating some interest with our town fathers this Spring. I think I'd have a 50% chance of getting it through. If luck is with me, one of the things I plan on recommending is that they model the program after the NBEF's Guide and only allow folks who've taken the Course participate.

I sure that would generate some interest here, especially with the size of the bucks that are walking the neighborhood. Saw one this fall that would have made B/C.

Give us a call the next time they send you TDY to SAT. We'll put some BUFF on the grill.

Pencil me in for March 3,4 at BPS in Katy. I loved the student class years ago when I took it in Porter, and have always wanted to take the instructor part. Would love to be more a part of the educational process.
