Question about apprentice license

[CharlieTN]

I have a man (22 yrs old) who wants to hunt this year. I've looked into the apprentice license for him for this first year as he would be only going with me. My question regards what I read about it on the TN gov site.

"In addition to the apprentice license, the hunter must have other applicable licenses and permits."

So, in order to hunt deer, would he need the apprentice, the basic hunt/fish combo, the big game rifle license, and the WMA permit? Or does the apprentice replace the basic hunt/fish combo license?

Thank for any clarification or information

The apprentice is only a substitute for not having hunter education certification. He would need a the basic hunting and fishing license as well as appropriate big game license.
You also have to be in position to take control of the hunting implement.

I think the apprentice license only defers the hunter's safety requirement, not any licensing requirements.

He's got 10 days til ML opener, 3 weeks until BGG, plenty of time for him to work in an online course. The NRA course is free and does not require a field day, unless something has changed.

I'd do that. Then when he's able to hunt solo later in the season he would be able to.

This is the way. The middle TAFKAP boy has been working on his NRA course this past week. He's nearly done with it. But I had to buy his apprentice permit this year for dove season.
