I drew Black Gap archery mule deer a few years ago and If this hunt comes anywhere close to that one, I'll be thrilled.

I will be hunting at Richland Creek (archery) in a couple of months. The hunt brochure says ATV's are recommended, but that a "safety course certification" is REQUIRED.
Does anyone know where to get that certification? I am south of San Antone, and don't mind going there, and would even drive to the DFW area if needed. All the online research I've done has turned up nothing. I called DPS and they say they know nothing about that and are not affiliated with anyone. But the brochure states that it MUST be a "DPS approved" certification. Google turned up numerous places in San Antone, but a phone call to them and they do ONLY motorcycle safety training.
Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

FINALLY DREW ONE! I'm late to the party, I know, but with 2 pts. I drew archery James Daughtrey. I'm super excited after reading a few of those live threads from the years passed. I've combed through many of the threads on tips for hunting the area, but if any of you have any pointers I'm all ears! Fingers are crossed on gun deer and mule deer for this year. I've got 6 pts. on all of those and put in for a ton every year. Of course, it only takes one entry to win so I'm sure my luck was all cashed in on this one

Thanks everyone for the input.
Neither TPWD nor DPS was helpful. When I searched online for DPS "approved" safety courses (pictured above), there was a map with "lots" of training centers. I called all of the places listed in the greater DFW and San Antonio area. None of them offered a course for ATV's. Only for motorcycles. I finally found a place called ATV Safety Institute. They offer a FREE online course. Takes a couple of hours to complete. Then I called RCWMA and was advised that this was sufficient. I also ordered the OHV stickers for 2 ATV's and my 4WD truck. The truck does require that sticker if it is going to be used "off road". The OHV stickers are $16.00 and are good from 9/1/2019 - 9-1/2020.
With that the RCWMA guy said that we should be good.
BTW, the ATV Safety Inst. will push you to take their "hands on" school; but I did not. Don't know what that cost is or where it is offered.

Good Luck!
