Wisconsin May Eliminate Minimum Hunting Age Requirement
Wisconsin Assembly Republicans are looking to eliminate the minimum hunting age requirement. As of now, children who are 10 or older can hunt with a mentor, sharing one weapon. Representative Joel Kleefish wants to do away with that, allowing both the hunter and mentor to have a weapon.
However, the Wisconsin Hunter Education Instructor Association thinks this is a bad idea. They feel that children are often too small to handle firearms, and this will be a distraction when it comes to safety. Read more about this from WDIO.
I personally understand the desire to have the freedom to teach your children how to hunt any age, but like the Wisconsin Hunter Education Instructor Association I can see this leading to more accidents.
