They are playing a bit of catch up.
Glad they are trying to do something about it.

Kids can bow hunt big game at 12 and rifle hunt at 14 here.

Interesting it appears that the disabled persons helper can be hunting for them?

The disabled guys I take hunting would not be too happy if I was shooting their critter for them.

I was happy to see the recognition that hunting is important to encourage. Getting kids in the field, and facilitating it for those with disabilities, is valuable for all sorts of reasons.

If we all don't get our kids out and into the field hunting will dissolve into nothing but a rich persons pass time.

God Bless TX. I just took my 9 (almost 10) year old to hunter safety education today. Passed with a 98 and he can hunt solo now if I wanted to let him (I don’t, but I wanted him to be able to apply for youth hunts and he needs a hunter safety number to do that).

I am fine with a ten yr old hunting but only if accompanied by an adult. Some 40 yr olds should still be accompanied by an adult.
