Instant Survey: Should the Youth Hunt, Learn to Hunt and Mentored Hunt be consolidated into one New Hunter Opportunity with one set of rules?

Consolidate Hunter Eduction …?

Background: Are youth hunting opportunities getting too complicated to keep track of? Currently, Wisconsin offers three special hunts for youth and novice hunters.

1. Youth Hunts for spring turkey, waterfowl and deer precede the regular open season and allow hunters ages 12-15 who are Hunter Education graduates to hunt with adult supervision and with no competition from older hunters.

2. Learn To Hunt (LTH) events for most game species may be scheduled at any time during the year. LTH events involve four hours of training, hands-on shooting, and a one- or two-day hunt that pairs a novice hunter of any age with a mentor who has at least five years experience hunting the species in question. Hunter education is not required prior to participating.

3. The Mentored Hunt program allows any novice hunter age 10 or older to hunt any species during the regular season for that species under the close supervision of a licensed adult hunter. Only one weapon is allowed, and the mentor must remain within arm’s reach or the hunter.
