This type of license requires a student to be under the direct supervision of a mentor who has undergone hunter education. This license was designed to attract new hunters of all ages to the sport of hunting. This type of license is available in 33 states. Two states have even reduced the minimum age for hunting to attract more young hunters.
Mentored youth hunting licence
The Mentored Youth Hunting Licence allows youth to hunt alongside an adult mentor. These youths have the ability to hunt a variety of game species, including deer and turkeys as well as bobwhitequail, squirrel, and rabbit. The license has a limit on how many animals they can carry, so that only a limited number of these species can be taken per day. Other restrictions include the types of hunting they can do, the types of animals they can take, and the season and daily limits for each species.
To be eligible for a Mentored Youth Hunting License, the youth must have a valid hunting permit and be accompanied at all times by an adult. The mentor and mentee must be within arm's length of each other at all times. Both must be able to carry a firearm or another legal hunting tool at all times. Mentors must be at minimum 18 years old, and at most 21 years.
License for youth sportsman
Numerous states are now offering a youth license for apprentice hunting. The National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC), introduced it at its Annual Meeting 2005. The CSF started tracking the issue during the 2006 legislative session. Although there are many requirements, the license allows for some flexibility. Due to the difficulty of recruiting new hunters, it is important that this license has a minimum age requirement of at least three years.
In Minnesota, youths ages 10-13 can obtain an apprenticeship hunting license. Apprentice hunters must be accompanied by licensed adults on their trips. A mentor must also be at least 21. Apprentice hunters can hunt small game with the youth sportsman's license. However, they cannot hunt larger game. A companion must be an adult and both must have valid hunting licenses for the current year. Licenses may be purchased for larger game once the apprentice hunter reaches 16 years of age.
Youth consolidated hunt/trap licence
If they are a state resident, a youth can get a hunting license with a combined hunt/trap permit. They can also buy a consolidated permit if they're not a resident. A county clerk or city agent can sell a license to a non-resident youth. The state statutes establishing requirements for the license are SS29.1-303.3, and SS29.1-304 respectively.
All hunters under the age 17 require this license. A hunting or trapping annual license can be applied for by anyone aged 16 and older. The annual license does not have the same requirements of a life-license, but it can be transferred. The license comes with a damage stamp, as required by Article 3 in this chapter. This license is only available to residents and cannot be transferred. However, licenses issued prior to July 1, 1988, are not transferable.
