Children Under 10 Now Allowed To Hunt In Michigan
22.05.12
DETROIT (WWJ) - Kids under 10 years old can now head into the woods with a gun and a licensed hunter over 21-years-old, and hunt for small game.
Dennis Fox with the Department of Natural Resources said it’s all part of Michigan’s new hunting program to encourage kids to learn to love hunting at an early age.
DNR Director Rodney Stokes said sales for hunting and fishing licenses have been down about one percent each year for the last decade.
“This is something that other states are experiencing also, but we want to make sure we reverse that trend, because those hunting and fishing licenses help us maintain and manage the natural resources of this state,” said Stokes.
