Congratulations
You are now an H.E.F.T.Y. Graduate. Your hard work has paved a road to success for you. Passing Hunter Education alone shows your dedication to hard work and is something you should be very proud of. Conservation is a task that is not easily met. Understanding conservation concepts is difficult and putting those concepts into action is even more complex.
As a graduate a little more effort will have great rewards. Through the cooperative efforts of land owners, local merchants, and the H.E.F.T.Y. program a great challenge is being offered to you.

        The Challenge

The Challenge is simple. Work hard in school and at home will bring you a great reward. Improve one grade, C to B, B to A, A to A+, any grade, any increase.   While you are working to improve your school grades think about what conservation means to you. What is your role in conservation? What can you as, an individual, do for conservation in your area? What kind of a project could you lead others on that would contribute to conservation in your area. Now write a paper on conservation. One page is enough but you can write more if you want.

            Make a copy of your report card and send it and your conservation paper to:

H.E.F.T.Y.

        The Contest
         
            You will be entered into a contest, the best improvement of grades and the best report will be chosen by a panel of judges. A longer report does not mean it is a better report. Content and thought make a good report so some research will help you greatly. Good grades are very important. They will help you to find a job, or get into a good college. Good grades may even help you get money that you need. While a small improvement is really great the more you improve your grades the better your chances are.

        The Reward

             One boy and one girl for each hunting area donated to H.E.F.T.Y.  will be awarded a free hunt. This hunt could be for Pheasant, Waterfowl, Turkey, Antelope, Deer, or Elk. And will be done during regular season for the area donated.  These hunts will be free for all winners. License, gun, ammo, food, special clothing, as well as anything else will be provided for the winners.
