Juvenile hunt license req’s

[kgt]

Hey all, quick question…if I invite a juvenile (with his father accompanying him) to hunt my farm on a juvenile hunt day, does he need a big game permit? Or can he just hunt with my permission on my property similar to landowner exemption? He has hunter safety already, but he will likely not hunt again all year so I'm trying to have him legal as cheaply as possible.

Thanks.

He has to have a juvi license if he is of age

How old is he?

 

[kgt]

He is 16. All he holds right now is hunter safety and hunt/fish combo.

Yes he will need big game (which weapon he chooses)to be legal

I believe he's good to go, they don't even offer a archery, mz, rifle tag for youth. It's combo license and wma permit all they can buy l think.

Once they turn 16 they have to have the same licenses as adults.

Great post, so ms Emily at crossville office says, residents under 16 only need jr hunt/ fish and if on wma get a wma permit. No big game needed. They also made 2nd youth hunt all tn land not private, I seen that but questioned it because last youth hunt was always private. I'll have my daughter on public with her 350 legend this weekend.

Glad you asked, I get so nervous about these things especially with the kids

So, since he'll be hunting with a rifle he can just purchase a big game rifle supplemental?

 

[Southern Sportsman]

Yes, I think so. If he already has the Hunt/Fish combo, I think he just needs the big game gun supplemental.

The January youth hunt was always private land only?

Yea, if has combo hunt and fish(adult license) than he need appropriate big game supplemental license for weapon used

It used to be, I'm glad they changed it

How do you go by getting a apprentice license for a 12 yr old? So he'll be able to hunt this weekend
