An apprentice hunting license (also known as a mentored hunter license) allows someone to hunt without having completed hunter education. This type of license requires a student to be under the direct supervision of a mentor who has undergone hunter education. This type of license was developed to attract hunters of all ages into the hunt sport. To date, 33 states offer this type of license, and two states have even lowered the minimum age to hunt to entice more young hunters.

The CSF began to monitor the issue in 2006, during the legislative session. There are several requirements to obtain this type license. For example, hunters must be at the least 16 years old.

How To
How to hunt wild ducks
Decoys are the most popular way to hunt wild ducks. Live decoys are the best way to hunt wild ducks. They should be placed at a distance away from your blind, so you can view them from afar. Avoid hunting in windsy conditions, as the birds will flee very quickly. Some birds might also be scared off by hunters who are nearby.
You should know the number of wild ducks you are hunting. Don't shoot if it isn't clear what type of bird they are. You must ensure you have enough ammunition so you can take down as many birds or not.
If you endanger many birds, you will need to clean and prepare your meat before you can eat it. Because the meat dries quickly once it is cooked, it's best to prepare it immediately. Remove any bones or feathers from the meat once it is done.
Wild ducks are often found near water, but sometimes they can be seen flying through fields, woods, and swamps. They fly low to the ground which makes them easier targets. When hunting wild ducks, try to stay hidden until you get close enough to make a shot. This means staying quiet and still while waiting for a chance to shoot.
