Minnesota DNR Invites Adults to Take Kids Hunting Small Game This Weekend

UNDATED (WJON News) -- The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is encouraging adults to take a kid hunting for small game this weekend.

It's an opportunity for adults to take a child younger than 16 years old into the woods and teach them the pursuit and enjoyment of hunting squirrels, rabbits, and other small game without having a hunting license.

Hunters must comply with open seasons, limits, and other regulations.

The DNR says hunting small game is a way to introduce kids to hunting, how to track wildlife, how to properly handle firearms, and the right way to access hunting land.
