Michigan's Great Outdoors ... Pass It On!
Choosing the perfect lure, reeling in your first lunker after great battle ...
Sitting stock still after catching sight of a handsome buck, just yards away ...
Drinking in the sights and sounds of the forest for the first time, feeling right at home ...
 If you have treasured childhood memories like these - from time spent in the company of family members or friends who wanted to share their love of the outdoors with you - count yourself lucky. Want to keep that tradition going strong? Good news! The Department of Natural Resources is proud to offer the new Mentored Youth Hunting program (starting March 1, 2012) for the 2012 hunting season - an easy way for experienced Michigan hunters and anglers to inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts.
The Mentored Youth Hunting program is designed to introduce youth under the age of 10 to hunting and fishing, offering a "package" license for just $7.50. For one low price, youth hunters under the age of 10 will be able to hunt turkey (spring and fall, any hunt period/location, on private or public land), deer (two tags, any deer) and small game, trap furbearers and fish for all species.
By eliminating the minimum hunting age in Michigan, the Mentored Youth Hunting program is geared toward parents and other adult mentors who want to teach children under the age of 10 how to hunt and fish. It lets parents determine if and when their child is ready to hunt.
The Mentored Youth Hunting program is an easy way to introduce children to Michigan's rich outdoor heritage, teach them about the importance of conserving our state's unmatched natural resources and help ensure that our hunting tradition continues to thrive. Every license purchased means important funding for wildlife habitat improvement and restoration, wildlife research, programs that provide access for public hunting, hunter safety education and much more.
