Guest MNR Report post Posted September 8, 2010 Upcoming local hunter safety courses are advertised in the local newspaper and at local sporting goods stores. Once your son or daughter has completed the course and obtained an apprentice hunters card, they can accompany you and share a single firearm. They are allowed to shoot the firearm and any game they harvest becomes part of the your licensed adult’s bag limit. They don’t need any other authorizations. When an apprentice turns 15, they are allowed (with signed parental permission) to get a regular outdoors card. Then they can enter the moose draw, buy their own licence and take their own limit. At this time they can carry their own firearm if they acquire a minor’s permit to carry available from the Federal Firearms Registrar. They are required to be under the direct supervision of a licensed adult. Under direct supervision means that the adult can see what the minor is doing and correct any actions. At age 16, (after one years experience) an adult can apply to the firearms office to have this condition removed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
