Youth turkey hunt open to kids as young as 10
Posted on January 29, 2010
State wildlife officials say hunters as young as 10 will be allowed to participate in a youth turkey hunt this spring.
The state Department of Natural Resources says the move is part of the Mentored Hunting Program that went into effect last fall.
Under the program, kids between the ages of 10 and 15 are allowed to hunt even if they haven't completed hunter education. But they have to stay "within arms reach" of a qualified adult mentor.
A young hunter must also have a valid hunting license, turkey-harvest permit and stamp.
Only one firearm is permitted between the mentor and youth hunter.
