Families Afield States Preparing for More Young Hunters Since NSSF helped launch Families Afield nearly two years ago, 10 states have passed new laws creating additional opportunities for young people to get involved in hunting. Now, as hunting seasons near, some of those states are preparing for larger-than-normal numbers of newcomers. In Michigan, a group of Perry sportsmen are rounding up prizes for youngsters who participate in the third annual "Youth Hunt Buck Pole." Organizers are expecting "dramatic increases" in young hunters this year. In Ohio, Department of Natural Resources personnel are utilizing the media to inform the public of new hunting opportunities as well as new apprentice hunting license requirements.
