RE: Minimum age to hunt?
They just lowered the minimum age from 12 to 10 here. You have to hunt with an adult until you're 17. But what if the "adult" you're hunting with is a doofus?
I had to take the hunter education course last fall. My husband (we weren't married yet though) took it with me just to see what it was like. The test was pretty easy. We both got 100%, but we were really shocked that some people didn't pass.
I'm inclined to think that parents should be able to decide if their kids are old enough to hunt. But what if the parents are irresponsible?
