Hunters Education?

[MountainMan7640]

RIght now today there are no age requirements for Hunter Education, but that is not saying that in the next few days, weeks etc the wonderful poloticians of this state will not change that. As an instructor we are hoping not but I guess we will see.

I heard that 14 would be the age when allowed to hunt ALONE, without a parent. not about taking the class.

My son, age 9, graduated Saturday, only missed 4 out of 75.

I've been hearing rumblings that the state may set a minimum age of 14 for
taking hunters ed?  Is that true?  If so, who do we contact to fight it?
I started hunting at age 8, and so is my son, if he is ready.... regardless of
what some liberal in Olympia says.

 I am a  hunter ed instructor. The state has no plans on imposing an age limit for hunter ed students. Last year a 14 year old boy shot a 51 year old lady he mistook for a bear. Because of that they are looking into age limits for supervised hunts. It sounds like 14 is the age that they are leaning for. By the way I am a liberal we aren't all anti hunting fanatics!!(I am also a Master Hunter)
