Am I correct that a youth under the age of 16 doesn't need a license as long as he's with a licensed adult? Do I need to just purchase a tag for him on my license?

Go to iowa DNR homepage. If you are hunting on your own property, I'm under the impression that they don't need either as long as they are with a legal adult. Correct me if i'm wrong. That's only on your own property.
