Some recipients now lead programs they once studied, like the current head of the sheep project, who traced his path back to HSCF help. Youth education offers hands-on experiences, classroom learning, and guided hunts that remove barriers for teens and families. Grants extend the mission across Texas and beyond, targeting habitat work, research, and practical conservation that yields measurable outcomes. Each program feeds the others, seeding a pipeline from beginner to professional, from curiosity to career.Join us at WeHuntWeGive.org to apply for scholarships, become a member, and to connect to the HSCF social channels! There are always events and gatherings happening! Hope to see you at the next one!PS - Make sure to also set aside the dates for the next Annual HSCF Worldwide Hunting Expo & Convention, January 15-17, 2027 at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center. Learn more about the host, George Blitch:SonofaBlitch.comIG: "thesonofablitch"YouTube.com/@SonofaBlitch
