DocM Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Here kids under 10 can hunt with a mentor supervising. In 2012 a 5 year old boy took two big deer on successive days, using a cut down womens .50 cal muzzleloader. The shots were 80 and 60 yards. Nice shootin'. Michigan under 10 license: $7.50. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33724060 Six-month-old baby gets lifetime hunting licence in US Daylen Brickley, a baby from the US state of New Hampshire, is the proud owner of a lifetime permit to hunt and fish - the first licence holder under a new program. His fishing licence is valid, but he will need to complete a hunter safety course before receiving that permit. His mother, Erica Brickley, is not concerned about his future training. The whole family was raised around hunting and fishing, "so I figure he'll kind of get in the swing of things". "It was only natural to kind of keep it going," she told the New Hampshire Union Leader. On Tuesday officials began offering The Newborn Lifetime Combination Hunting and Fishing License to residents under one year old. Daylen is six months old. Lifetime permits are available to adults as well, but for a higher price. The only negative feedback the department has received so far is from parents of toddlers who are slightly too old to apply for the less expensive lifetime permit, according to Evan Mulholland, an official with New Hampshire Fish and Game. He said the programme was created to reduce obstacles to young hunters as they are introduced to the activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeChipshop Member Posted July 31, 2015 Member Share Posted July 31, 2015 So he has a piece of paper that grants him permission to go ahead and learn how to hunt and fish through out his lifetime? Yup, i see no problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocM Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Once the hunters safety class is passed, at whatever age, he can do a lot more than learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefyTheOutcome Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Great new idea for a new reality show on TLC, after 'Toddlers & Tiaras', 'Toddlers & Trophies', see how kids and babies can go hunt and kill Simba and Nala instead of watching the Lion King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Really see no problem as long as the kid is properly taught/trained when he is older. And also learns to hunt and use what he kills. DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
