Minimum solo hunting age in WA
pianoman9701:
Anyone who has passed hunter's safety and has the proper tags and licenses may hunt by themselves. There is no minimum age limit for taking hunter's safety. The instructor may require that youths under a certain age be accompanied by a parent when taking hunter safety.

Seemed to us that years ago it was 11 with a shotgun and 14 rifle. one day he was going by an minimart and there were 11 wdfw enforcement trucks. (yeah 11 in one place - good use of our $) NONE of them new the answer. A few days later the seagent called him and the answer is :
There is no minimum age: it was changed some years ago.
So feel free to give a youngster a gun and turn them loose. Not that most would do that, but would seem to most reasonable adults that there should be rules for the idiots.

So are you calling me an idiot?
And I'm not clueless I know what I'm doing I dont even hunt with a round in the chamber, its on safety, the barrel is always up or down and I've always waited until I know what I'm shooting at before I pull the trigger

I think you must've have misunderstood his response. I don't think anyone is calling you an idiot.

I started hunting alone when i was 12. but of course this was indiana where all my hunting spot are a mile from the house. I shot all my deer by myself. Doin what i wanna do. I do it legal and ethical. But its nicer for youth to be able to hunt by themselves. I blew a hunt when i was younger on a nice sized buck. Its taught me to be more patient. My parents trust me hunting by myself and with a selct few friends. My parenst i have to say are pretty strict like always having to talk to parents before goin to a friends house and all that good stuff. Its just a matter of trust. And i think i always get more game if i go myself too.

LOL a making of a great hunter there!! I have said the same thing since i was 12!
I think alot of people got a bad tase in their mouth after the 2 youths that got dropped off by grandpa, and they shot a lady on top of Darrington. No law, but common sense,,, :twocents:
