Eau Claire (WQOW) - The minimum age for gun deer hunting would drop to 10-years-old under a bill passed by lawmakers.
Under the bill, kids as young as 10-years-old could shoot while hunting with an adult provided there is only one firearm between them. Supporters say allowing 10-year-olds to hunt would help preserve the state's hunting culture. The DNR estimates 9,000 more kids would get licenses every year.
The bill now goes to the governor. His office says he supports it.
