I think the law needs a rewrite
If I didn’t get drawn this year and my 12 year old son did the law clearly states I can’t hunt with him I can’t glass for animals (search) I can’t sit on the hill side with him and see what comes by (lie in wait for) etc.
I don’t believe this is the intent of the law but that’s the way it’s written
