A mentored hunting license or apprentice license for hunting allows you to hunt before you have completed hunter training. This license requires that the student is under the direct supervision and guidance of a mentor who has completed hunter training. This license was created to encourage new hunters of all age into hunting. This license is currently available in 33 states. To encourage more young hunters, two states have lowered the minimum age required to hunt.
Mentored youth hunting license
A Mentored Youth Hunting License allows a youth to hunt with an adult mentor. The youth can hunt many game species including turkeys, squirrels, bobwhitequail, rabbit, and deer. 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. They must always have a legal firearm or hunting implement. A mentor must be at the least 18 years of age and be at the least 21 years.
Licence for youth sportsman
In many states, a youth sportsman's license is increasingly in demand for apprentice hunting. It was presented to the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses at its Annual meeting in 2005. The CSF started tracking the issue during the 2006 legislative session. There are several requirements for this type of license, including that the hunter be at least 16 years old, but there is room for relaxation. In addition, the minimum age requirements for this license should be at least three years, as recruiting new hunters can be a lengthy process.
Minnesota allows youths aged 10-13 to obtain an apprenticeship hunting permit. An apprentice hunter must be accompanied on a trip by a licensed adult. The mentor must be at minimum 21 years of age. 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. They can buy larger game licenses once the apprentice hunter has reached 16 years.
Youth consolidated trap/hunt license
A youth can obtain a hunting license with a consolidated hunt/trap permit if they are a resident of the state. If they aren't a resident, they can still purchase a combined license. A nonresident youth may purchase a license from either a county clerk and/or a city agent. The state statutes establishing requirements for the license are SS29.1-303.3, and SS29.1-304 respectively.
All hunters below the age of 17 years old must have this license. For hunters under the age of 17, this license is required. Anyone 16 or older can apply to an annual hunting and trapping license. It is nontransferable, and the requirements are the same as a life licence. This license also includes a damage stamp required by Article 3 of the chapter. This license is only available to residents and cannot be transferred. Licenses issued prior the 1 July 1988 are not transferable.
