True, but keep it quiet. This is Washington and the nannies could be getting bored!

It is pretty clear in the regs. at least for deer, 14 on the eastside and 16 on the westside. I'm not sure about waterfowl.

I can't find age requirements anywhere. Please tell me which page of the regs this is on and where on the page.

I gotta be honest, I hate any more hunting regulations than we already have, and no offense to any of you out there whom are very responsible parents or are very responsible kids. But there are way too many out there who are not either, and I strongly believe there should be a minimum solo hunting age required by the state. If you want to have your kids take hunters safety at age 5 or 7 or 9 or whenever you think they are ready for it, I have no qualms with that. But having them solo hunt alone with a rifle should have some sort of minimum age. Otherwise we might as well turn kids loose with a car whenever the parents deem they are responsible enough to be out driving. Not any significant difference in my mind. :twocents:
