This is from another post I did not want to hijack, but am curious.
William Lewis Douglas, 62, of Portland, Tenn., was fined $1,700 and costs in Allen District Court by Judge Frank Wakefield. He was fined $1000.00 for the bait, $500.00 for not being in control of his grandson’s safety, $200.00 for license violations, lost two shotguns, and his hunting privileges for two years.
Just a random question:
At what age does a youth have to be in order to carry a shotgun for hunting?
And what range is considered 'being in control'?
If any child is holding a loaded gun, the adult has no real control, even if only 3 feet away, so I am at a loss here.
At what age can a youth hunt deer or turkey from his own stand or ambush position?
Myself and much of my friends and family may well have been illegal countless times and never even knew it.
