Michigan House Approves Lower Hunting Age Bill
The House today approved legislation by state Rep. Susan Tabor lowering Michigan's minimum hunting age with firearms from 14 to 12. House Bill 4225 permits 12-year-olds and those who turn twelve in the calendar year who have passed hunter safety classes to participate in firearm hunting seasons for deer, elk and bear. Young hunters must still be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or authorized adult. MUCC has policy supporting the bill.
The measure now goes to the Senate.
