Rep. Gary Alan Hebl (D-Sun Prairie) unsuccessfully argued in committee this week that all mentors should be required to pass hunter safety courses.

That was the most reasonable idea I've seen - have both the mentor and the young hunter pass safety courses. Why didn't they pass that provision, as well, I wonder???
I've seen 8 year olds who would be fine out hunting...and I've seen 20 year olds that wouldn't be ok out there. It matters on the child's maturity & the mentor's ability to teach & control the child.
