.i see this date of 1971 ..and it says AFTER or something or other..so my question is at 47 am i supposed to take this class ..im not the only person i know confused by this so help me out..and you can call me a numbskull if you like..thank yall.

 *modified* From what I just read Texas only requires those born after Sept. 2nd 1971 to take the hunter ED course. So they should issue you a license without needing to take the Safety course if born before this date.  This goes for bow or rifle hunting. All those born after that date will not be issued a hunting license without first taking the safety course. The hunter safety course is also the same from state to state and it transferable so if you move states you won't have to take it again.
 That is how I understand it anyway.

now see where my confusion lies..on the texas bowhunters site...one guy said..that if you were born BEFORE..1971.. you DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE THE SAFETY COURSE,, however you DO need a license..see two sites ..two different answers..thus is MY confusion...lol

Bearded Mountain Man:
After reading a little into it I modified my original response. I used to live in TX and my best friend lives and hunts there. If you are hunting big game in TX you need a license. Hogs don't count because they are not considered "game" you can hunt them without a license. If you were born before Sept 2. 1971 you don't need to take the safety course but you still need to purchase a license and follow all the hunting regulations.
