Youth Hunting Opportunity?

My son is 9 and has been hunting with me since he was six. He has taken multiple deer and some doves. I would like to take him to SD with me to experience pheasant hunting but they way I read the SD regs it appears children cannot hunt until they are 12. Is this accurate or am I missing something?

Many thanks,

Dan

I think that's right.
 
Unless you are a resident it is 12 years old. If you are a resident they do offer mentored hunts for children starting at ten years of age. Looking forward to that day. And it's still 9 years away!!!

Keep Wisconsin open as an option. Might be able to bring him here when he's two for a little hunting if they get their way.
