Youth Deer Hunting Day is this Saturday, October 26
This Saturday, youth deer hunters across the state get their own day to hunt deer.
Hunters who possess a junior hunting license and are 10 or older and younger than 16 (either resident or non-resident) can hunt deer on this day if they are under the direct supervision of a parent, guardian or a qualified adult. Any person who accompanies a junior hunter other than that parent or guardian must either possess a valid hunting license or have successfully completed a hunter safety course. A qualified adult is a person at least 18 years of age approved by that youth hunter’s parent or guardian, and this person must hold a valid Maine hunting license or have successfully completed a hunter safety course. The accompanying adult cannot possess a firearm.
The junior hunter on this day can take one deer of either sex only in those Wildlife Management Districts where Any Deer permits were issued. In WMDs where there are no Any Deer permits issued, hunters may only take an antlered deer. All laws pertaining to hunting during the open firearms season on deer apply on the youth deer day.
"Youth hunting is critical to keeping Maine's rich sporting traditions alive. I would like to wish all use hunters, and their parents and family members, a very fun, successful, and safe youth hunting day this Saturday. "
Good Luck!!
