Two of the goals of the Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA) are to promote the education of youth in securing the future of the hunting tradition and to extend the goodwill of members through community outreach. In 2010, that goodwill is going to reach the winning youth in the form of a FREE Whitetail buck hunt in the Texas Hill Country. In addition, the winner will be awarded a membership in the Texas Trophy Hunters Association and their hunt will be featured in The Journal of the Texas Trophy Hunters. 

2010 Contest rules are as follows:

·        Contest open to 10 to 17 year olds.
