RENO, Nev. (AP) — State wildlife officials have launched a new program aimed at attracting more youngsters to hunting.
The new apprentice hunting license was approved by the Nevada legislature last year.
The license is available for one season to anyone 12 and older who has not previously held a hunting license. It's good for upland game and waterfowl and doesn't require the usual completion of a hunter education course.
The apprentice must be accompanied at all times by an adult mentor 18 or older with a valid Nevada hunting license and mentor affidavit.
The license is free but a $3 habitat conservation fee is required along with any necessary waterfowl or game stamps. Tagged species are off limits.
