I'm going to be hunting some squirrel this weekend for the first time in a long time.

I got permission to use a buddy's land on the condition that I take his 11 year old son with me, which is no big deal.

I have never hunted with a child before (I'm 26), but that's not my concern. I'm under the impression that the child doesn't need a license and I'm fine hunting with him if I have my hunter's safety card on me. Is that true? Also, and this is probably stupid, but we do get to each shoot and keep 8 right?

I'm going to be in an area notorious for game wardens, so I don't want to misstep and end up with a ticket on some technicality.

He doesn't need a license and you can keep 8 each.


Make him fetch your squirrels. That's what my dad taught me kids were for.

Try to make sure he gets his 8. If he has a good time, you may be invited to bring him again. If I were you, I'd only shoot when two or more were in range. Other than that let him sling some bb's. Next time he wants to go and dad can't make it, you get the invite to shoot more tree rats

Let him shoot em all. Watching kids kill squirrels is more fun than doing it yourself.
