License for Youth Weekend

Anyone know the laws pertaining to the youth weekend hunts?
This is my first year to be able to take some nephews hunting on the youth weekend hunts, so I got a few questions and hope someone can help. What is the age cut-off, 15 or 16? What if they have a license from another state, will that license suffice or must they have a Ms license? What if they do not have a license at all.

Someone told me that if they were 16 or under they were legal to hunt and did not even need a license, which I find hard to believe.

I called the MDWFP office today and asked and was told they would check and get back with me, don't think I got the right person, but I never heard back. I'm gonna get the right person tomorrow, but thought somebody here might know. I certainly don't want to take any young ones out this weekend and turn them into outlaws, not now or ever.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am not sure about the age limit but I would think that it would follow along with the guidlines for the youth deer hunting. I dont see why they would need a license but stamps may be needed. I dont know. Good question.

I heard the adult could hunt too. Hmmm Guess I better let the others know cause the guys I hunt with have always taken birds with the kids on youth hunts. Wouldn't getting a ticket be a good example for the kids. :twisted:

Adults cannot hunt, Kids are not required to have a license or a stamp. The adult is not required to have a license or stamp.

I just checked and Duckaholic is 100% correct on all.

Fact: believe it or pay the price.

12-16 required to have hunter ed course to hunt ms(however not sure if it applies to the youth hunts though) i'm in process of finding that out also and will advise
- no stamps or lic are needed

- if they are under 12 they have to be with licensed adult but don't
have to have hunter ed class or stamps
