Minimum solo hunting age in WA
Alan K:
If you go on a youth permit hunt you have to be accompanied by an adult, I know that.
BoomWhop:
No minimum age if you have your hunter safety card.

Same with youth hunts for birds such as the youth waterfowl hunt.

This came up a couple of years ago with a buddie and I. 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
