Youth Question

Hey troups,

Here's a question I'm not sure on. I have an 8 year old son who is becoming something of a dead-eye with my Ruger 10-22. I see squirrel season opens this Saturday, and I'd love to take him out and get his first squirrel, but I'm not sure if he needs to be old enough for a hunter safety course or not. I know he can get a youth season deer tag before age 12, but can he also hunt squirrels as long as I'm with him? Ghost...I think you've been through this (remember a couple of priceless photos), so maybe you'll be able to help, but anyone else who knows for sure I'd appreciate the information. Thanks.

Yes, your son may hunt as long as he is accompanied by a liscened adult. Nice to see that someone is starting the youngsters out with squirrels, a lost source of many great hunts. Good Luck
