Youth hunting backed By 7 News Staff | April 21, 2021 at 6:50 AM EDT - Updated April 21 at 9:32 AM
WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - The general services committee of the Jefferson County legislature advanced a proposed local law Tuesday night that would allow 12 and 13 year olds to use a firearm while hunting.
It follows a provision included in the state budget. The law says youngsters of that age will have to be with a parent or legal guardian while hunting - and that person must have a hunting license and at least three years of deer hunting experience.
