Youth Hunting Day great opportunity for kids
Next Saturday will be prime time for young hunters to have a shot at a deer before older hunters start shooting.
Rutting bucks were running around all last week, the number of youngsters with the Youth Hunting License is growing and youth hunting days held this year for ducks, turkeys and pheasants were very popular. Other than in special hunts, the general hunting public won't be firing guns at deer until the muzzleloader days Nov. 28-29.
For at least 60 years in our state, supervised young hunters from age 10 who meet requirements have been able to hunt during regular seasons and not one has been involved in a hunting accident.
The minimum age is 12 in Pennsylvania, 12 in New York for small game, 16 for big game, and in Maryland the first bear killed this year was by an 8-year-old girl.
