Who is taking a kid out for youth hunt next weekend?

[thaHooligan]

so if i take my 9yo out, what all do i need to have exactly? he hasnt taken the hunter safety course yet. do i just buy an apprentice license and thats it hes good to go? or does he have to have the apprentice license AND a deer tag? i just dont want to take him out and not have all the proper licenses and what not.


ok, i read through the regulations and if im understanding this correctly, i would need to buy an Apprentice License (not sure how much they cost?), and then either a Youth Deer Gun Antlered tag $10 or a Youth Deer Gun Antlerless tag $10?

You will need the $10 gun tag. That is it. They will fall under the exemption of not needing a hunting license. The tag will have an apprentice designation and that is all that you will need.

I think the youth license are only for 16 and 17yo's.

I have two good friends bringing their boys up to try and shoot a couple deer this weekend. We will be at it public land style. I am feeling pretty good after all my recent scouting.
