Relates to deer hunting with a minor
This bill modifies regulations for minors hunting deer by removing the requirement that they and their supervising adult must stay at ground level at all times. The law still mandates that the adult has at least three years of hunting experience, holds a valid license, and maintains physical control over the minor through constant visual contact and the ability to give verbal instructions. By eliminating the ground-level restriction, the change allows supervised deer hunting to occur in situations where staying on the ground is not feasible, such as on uneven terrain or when using elevated stands.
