How close do the adult mentor and youth hunter need to be while hunting?
“Accompany” for the purpose of 12-15 year olds who have completed hunter education means within visual and voice contact without the aid of any mechanical or electronically amplified device, except for a hearing aid. For youth ages 10-15 who are hunting under the Mentored Hunting Program requirements, the youth must be mentored by an adult who is within arms reach at all times during the hunt. Please keep in mind turkey hunting is a unique sport and requires extra safety precautions.
