[The title of this thread is wrong, I overlapped some of the seasons and came up with the wrong number of days, should be 114 days. Sorry for the error.]
Well here it is, as many of you know the DNR has graciously given 10 and 11 yr. olds permission to hunt under their new mentor program. I decided to take my 10 yr. old hunting and was checking the 2010 hunting regs. and found some disturbing news. While looking for the rules regarding the mentor program on page 12 of the regs. it says "Only ONE firearm, bow or crossbow [if eligible for a crossbow permit] can be POSSESSED JOINTLY between the hunter and mentor..." If I read this correct I would be a criminal to oc while taking my 10 yr. old hunting.
This year a 10 or 11 yr. old can hunt the following:
Archery sept. 18-nov.18
nov.29-jan. 9
Youth hunt- oct. 9-10
Doe only- oct. 14-17
Gun deer- nov. 20-28
Muzzleloader nov. 29-dec. 8
Total 114 days
I realize some might think I am nit picking but I am cautious when it comes to the DNR, after all can't we thank them for the restrictions on vehicle carry?
