You'd be wrong, both as a matter of law and of tradition. There are even some reserved youth-only days in the season, though they're not restricted to that.

Chances are most multi-generational hunters grew up doing so with their parents.

Apparently in MA you need to be 12, and you need to be accompanied by an adult (1 per child) age 12-14, at 15 you need your own hunting license.

And no, FYI I've never gone hunting. But it's useful to have at least a vague idea of how things going on around oneself work, even if not interested in participating.

Sunday is a day to be with family and relax and I am mad that everyone is trying to get rid of the Sunday laws because they can't be slightly inconvenienced for one day out of the week.

Eesh. Not everybody considers Sunday the sabbath. In fact, even Christian used to have it on Saturday. I agree that everyone deserves a day off to spend as they see fit & I do mean everyone. That's why we keep a day hunting free.... so I can sleep till my kid jumps on me at 7am
