Youth Hunter Help

[fasteddie]

A friend of mine's grandson is 14 . Tommy passed the Hunter Safety Course last year . Neither his grandfather or Father hunts . I am considering taking him during the Youth Weekend this this season . I think it's usually around the Columbus Day weekend .

I know I need to get a permission slip from his Dad . What does Tommy need besides a Big Game licence ? Does he need to apply for a anterless permit ? He would have to use my rifle as neither he , his dad or grandfather own a rifle . Much of the needed info is in the Regs Booklet as far as wearing blaze orange , and other things . Tommy and his dad have shot Trap and he has done well so I know he can handle shotgun recoil .

He can use a DMP, DMAP, or regular season tag during the youth hunt.  There are also blaze orange requirements.

The regular season tag would only be a buck tag . Does he need to apply for an anterless tag ? The Regs Book states that 250 square inches of hunter orange must be worn .

Pretty sure that regular season buck tag is either sex tag during the youth weekend

What TF said- they can use whichever tag on a deer of either sex.  But, they can't get additional tags for later in the season.

Yes.

And yes.

No elevated tree stand hunting as well.

Really nice of you to be a mentor to that young man Eddie.

He's very lucky to have found someone with your experience, willing to help.

I believe they can take either sex as TF and Virgil said. BUT. I think that is only a valid option for ONE deer. They can't take two deer on that weekend. 1 deer and 1 bear.
