Minors Permits and Kids

[Roebag]

Is there a general spacing requirement that can't be exceeded between my son (12 yrs old with a minors POL) and I when we are in the field hunting. Some one told me we have to be with 10 meters of each other at all times. Is this true?

Thanks In Advance

Rob

I think the idea is you are close enough to insure good gun control and safety. Depending on the kid that might be inches or hundreds of yards. I have not heard of an actual set # of meters to be legal.

The regs state that under 18 are "accompanied" which is defined in the guiding section (that section only) as "...easily communicate verbally without use of electronic devices". Seems to be a reasonable interpretation.

As always, when in doubt, contact F&W, that and abide by your own comfort level.

Thanks guys, someone told me it is based on the conditions the person at the CFC puts on the minors permit when they do the interview

the conditions put on the minor by the cfo office is the correct answer.dont call the fish and wildlife office for said conditions,if in doubt contact cfo,s office.
