The mentored hunting program is designed so parents can make the decision on when their child is ready to go hunting for the first time. By emphasizing one-on-one interaction between the beginning hunter and the experienced hunter, safety, respect for wildlife and solid conservation ethics are passed to the conservation leaders of tomorrow.

Any resident youth is not required to possess a hunting license as long as accompanied by a hunting mentor while in the field hunting. This is for residents only. No license required for the mentored hunter nor is a hunter education class required.

The mentored hunter must be accompanied by unarmed mentor.
