Default RE: Raise the hunting age?

With the recent events in Wisconsin, and hearing about some of the other accidents around the states, wouldn't it be in everyones best interest if only more "mature" adults were allowed to hunt?
"the other accidents" I hope your not saying what Vang did was an accident.

How many of these accidents were comiited young hunters proably none.

If we raise the age we will loose the future of hunting. In NY you have to be 16 (biggame)to hunt with a gun and 14 with a bow. My son was ready alot younger hen that.

Sorry I don' agree that raiseing the age would do anything but hurt hunting.
