Youth Hunting Bills Move Forward





Two more states are advancing measures to remove unnecessary prohibitions against youth hunters. Tennessee’s bill authorizes the state Wildlife Resources Commission to create one-year, one-time-only permit allowing anyone 10 or older to postpone hunter education requirements in order to participate in a supervised hunt with a licensed adult. The bill, overwhelmingly passed in both houses, now awaits the governor’s signature. In Michigan, the Senate has passed two relevant bills. One would create a new apprentice license that allows individuals to experience hunting under the supervision of a fully licensed hunter. The other bill would reduce the minimum hunting age from 12 to 10 for small game and from 14 to 12 for hunting deer, bear or elk with firearms. One bill is now on the governor’s desk; the other heads to the House. The Families Afield initiative of NSSF, National Wild Turkey Federation and U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance inspired all three bills.
