getting my son a license

[Waappow]

I just tried to buy my son a license online. Can't because he has not taken the hunter safety course. He has a license in MD and ME but not in MA where we live. He is 14. Will he be allowed to buy a SD license and carry a gun?

Not Legally. They require hunters safety. Do they not require it in Md?

Not required in MD because of his Maine license. So I can shoot across a paved road but he cant carry a gun?

So they don't require one in maine either?

no, and i just found out not after 16 in sd. In MA he can carry my gun and hunt under my bag limit.

Page 12 of the hunting regulations: Youth 12 to 15 requires a Hunting Safety Certificate OR a copy of a current or previous hunting license from another state.

See South Dakota Game Fish and Parks web site under hunting then hunting regulations--select flip book version go to pg 12 look under youth section.

Hope this helps

That is what i was looking for. Thank you very much. I assume i can buy that just about anywhere when i get there if the online system doesn't understand that rule.

I spoke with maryland Dnr after reading the pages you suggested. They told me to use his license number on the sd site where his hunter safety card number was required and it accepted it. First problem solved. Thanks for your help.
