[/ QUOTE ] Dan, I agree but within reason...they should be able to hunt at any age but still be required to take and pass the bow hunter eduacation course, plus have adult supervision, to earn the privelege of hunting I'm sure no one wants some untrained 7 year old flinging arrows into the sky when they are out there. They pass the test and learn how to keep themselves and others safe...they earned it in my book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: New York--- SB120-- lowering the age of bowhunters We don't have a minimum age limit here but there are restrictions for youth hunters. Here they are: Youth hunters 11 and under must hunt under the supervision of an adult. Youth hunters 12 to 15 can hunt by themselves if they have 1st passed a hunter safety course. If not they must hunt under the supervision of an adult. At age 16 they are required to buy a license and must 1st pass a hunters safety course. I like that train of thought myself. I honestly believe we need to get our youth hunters involved at an early age for the good of the sport. As they get older there are a lot of other distractions that gets their attention. Just wanted to pass that on to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: New York--- SB120-- lowering the age of bowhunters The reason for this is because according to DEC, the average NY hunter's age is 45 and they have had atleast 10 kills in their lifetime. My dad jotted that down at one of the meetings DEC held for the new season dates, antler restrictions etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
