Mentored hunting license programs are designed to assist individuals in obtaining their license. The program matches mentees to experienced hunters to help them get the basics of hunting. Both the mentor and mentee can have regular contact. However, it is also possible for them to correspond via phone or email. The mentor should be well-prepared for their mentees after they have left the program.
New Mexico State Game Commission approves mentored youth hunting
New Mexico has a new program to encourage young hunters. New Mexico State Game Commission approved rules last month that will allow youths the opportunity to purchase a mentored youth license for hunting. Morgan compares it to a driver’s course and sees the benefits both for the outdoors and for hunting's future. Youth hunting mentored by adults allows them to experience the sport before purchasing a hunting license.
A mentored youth hunting permit is only available to those who have passed a Hunter Education Course. For both archery and firearm draw hunts in New Mexico, a mentored youth number must be provided. It is vital that the youth are able to carry their Mentored Youth number while hunting. Traditional hunter education is a combination of videos, lectures, hands-on techniques, and reviews. A responsible adult must accompany any student under the age 10 during the course.
Wisconsin DNR requires that you have a Hunter Education Certificate
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has temporarily suspended all-online hunting education courses. Online courses will still be available to hunters over 18. DNR says the course is not appropriate for hunters over 18 years old without any hunting experience. The DNR did not respond to a message seeking comment about the course. Officials put the program on hold while waiting for state guidelines about in-person instruction.
There are many options for obtaining a hunter education certification. Traditional classroom courses take place at various locations throughout each year and last for at most 10 hours. The courses typically cost $10 per person and require at least 10 hours of instruction. However, if you're 18 years old and don't have time for a classroom course, you can also complete a hunter education course online. The course will have required quizzes and a final exam.

How To
How to make a Deer Blind
A deer blind can be used as a hunting device to conceal game animals like deer and elk. The deer blind is a small enclosure of canvas or wood, often covered with leaves and branches. The hunter waits for the animal's arrival and hides in the enclosure. For hunting at night, deer blinds are often used.
You can find deer blinds in many sizes and shapes. Some are portable, while others are permanently fixed. They are constructed of materials such as plywood and cardboard.
The most common type of deer blinds is box blinds (also known as box stands). These blinds consist of a box made of wood with walls and a roof. Because they are easy-to-assemble and transport, boxes are very popular.
A tree stand is another type of deer blind. Tree stands are made to look natural, so no one would guess they were there. Most tree stands are permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds, similar to tree-stands but built into the ground, are another option. Ground blinds are usually camouflaged in dirt, rocks or sand. Ground blinds are also known as "groundboxes".
There are many ways to hunt deer blinds. You can wait for the animal's approach by sitting still. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. You should be quiet and not move too much if this is the method you choose. This could lead to an animal believing you are a threat and running off.
A deer blind can only be used in a specific spot. Choose a spot that isn't likely to blow your scent towards animals. Avoid areas where people frequently hike.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
