Lars, they just passed a new law that goes into effect July 1 that "changes" that. Both my boys took and passed hunter safety with excellent scores when they were 7 and 9, so I am not sure why this bill was needed, but if my 11 year old can hunt, he will.

Last Thursday, Senate Bill 226, introduced by state Senator Jerry Sonnenberg (R-1), unanimously passed its final vote in the full House of Representatives and is now headed to Governor John Hickenlooper (D).
As previously reported, SB 226 would give hunters who are at least 10 years of age the ability to go into the field to hunt, as long as they are accompanied by someone at least 18 years of age or older who has successfully completed hunter education training. This bill would also remove the mandated 10 hour training requirement for obtaining a hunter education license but would still keep training in place by a division certified instructor.
