I have to head to work . I'll answer this evening as it isn't a simple answer due to the public and private land differences.
For private land, it would be the age of 10 and having their Hunter Education certification:
70-2-108. Hunter education course.
(a) (1) Every person born on or after January 1, 1969, before hunting, shall possess, in addition to all other licenses and permits required, proof of satisfactory completion of an agency approved hunter education course, except this provision shall not apply to persons under ten (10) years of age accompanied by an adult at least twenty-one (21) years of age.
(2) (A) The commission is authorized to promulgate rules to create a permit for a fee exempting persons from the hunter education requirements of this section for a twelve-month period, as long as the person possesses all other licenses and permits required, and, if ten (10) years of age or older, the person must be accompanied by a licensed adult at least twenty-one (21) years of age or older, who is hunter-education-certified or otherwise exempt by law.
(B) Effective July 1, 2015, a person who meets the requirements of subdivision (a)(2)(A) may purchase the permit annually for up to three (3) consecutive years.
(3) For the purpose of this section, "accompanied" is defined as being able to take immediate control of the hunting device.
For WMA's, a youth must be at least 6 before hunting on a WMA. Youths age 6-16 must be accompanied by an adult, 21 years of age or older, who must remain in a position to take immediate control of the hunting device.
