Youth question

And one that actually has an answer.

Can a 12 year old who hasn't had hunter safety get a youth tag? Assuming, of course, that they'll hunt under the supervision of a licensed adult. Thanks for the help.

I believe so, but don't quote me fully on that one just yet. I may be thinking in the past.

But far as I know, yes.
 
From page 9 on the hunting guideline. Hunting

1a) Residents under 16 years old who
hunt under the direct supervision of their properly
licensed parent, guardian, or other competent
adult with the consent of the parent or guardian do
not need a Hunting License or pay the Habitat or
Migratory Game Bird fee. One properly licensed
adult must accompany each unlicensed hunter
under 16 years old.
1b) Residents 12 to 16 years old may hunt
without adult supervision, but must have a Hunting
License and must have passed a hunter education
course (see p. 7 for hunter education training
requirements). Fees are not required

From page 7


Resident and nonresident hunters born after
Jan. 1, 1972, must satisfactorily complete a hunter
education course in order to obtain a hunting
license. A person who is 11 years-old or older may
enroll in a course, but those who are 11 and successfully
complete the course shall be issued a certificate
of completion which becomes valid on that
person’s 12th birthday. Residents under the age of
12 can be issued deer and turkey licenses, but the
youth hunter must be accompanied by and under
the immediate control of or direct supervision of a
licensed adult hunter.
 
Thanks nanny...that's what I was looking for. Now another question, maybe a bit more unclear.

Does the supervising adult have to have an Iowa hunting license, or could it be a valid hunting license from another state? I have a son and a daughter who would both like to go out, and a brother (from Minnesota) who would gladly take one of them out, but not sure it's worth them buying the Iowa hunting license for. Thanks again.
