A new bill signed by Governor Jon Huntsman has removed age limits for hunting upland game like wild turkeys in the state. inimum age for upland game hunting removed NORTH COUNTY Utah joined a growing list of states removing barriers for youth hunters recently, as Gov. Jon Huntsman signed Htmse Bill 328 into law. The Utah Senate passed legislation that removes the minimum age for hunting upland game, small game and turkeys in the state. HB 328 passed by a margin of 20-7, and under the bill, hunters must be accompanied by an adult mentor at all times. "This is a huge victory for mentored hunters in Utah," said Jon Leonard, National Wild Turkey Federation Utah state chapter president. "We are pleased young hunters will now have the opportunity to hunt with a mentor and without worry of a minimum age requirement." Leonard represented the NWTF on the Wildlife and Habitat Legislative Coalition in Utah. The coalition is made up of representatives from sportsmen's groups, and was instrumental in getting the legislation passed through the committee. "When you restrict the age at which a young person can enter the woods, you interfere with the family tradition of hunting and conservation," said Leonard. "This law gives families another an-other opportunity to strengthen strength-en their ties, while at the same time removing barriers for youth hunting." The WHLC relied heavily on statistics from the Youth Hunting Report, which was written by Silvertip Productions, Produc-tions, the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and Southwick Associates As-sociates Inc. The report shows youth hunters are the safest hunters in the woods when accompanied accom-panied by an adult. Of the 31 states that have no minimum age restrictions, the incident rates are .0483 per 1,000 hunters. hunt-ers. . The remaining states, where the government sets minimum hunting age require the National Wild Turkey Foundation, the Uinta National Forest ments, had an incident rate nearly 10 percent higher at .0534 incidents per 1,000 hunters. hunt-ers. The findings of the report were peer reviewed for sta-' tistical validity by the Triad Research Group. The NWTF has led the charge in promoting youth hunting opportunities and has teamed up with USSA and the National Shooting Sports Foundation to remove youth hunting barriers across the nation. The research compelled the NWTF, USSA and NSSF to launch Families Afield, a program pro-gram designed to work with hunters and elected officials about the negative impact of high age restrictions. "Youth hunters are the future fu-ture of conservation and the hunting tradition," said Rob Keck, CEO of the NWTF. "If we don't get these young people peo-ple involved in hunting and conservation at an early age, our hunting traditions could suffer. "By hooking them on hunting hunt-ing at an early age, we ensure the future of hunting and conservation con-servation remains strong." While the Youth Hunting Report showed mentored hunters generally are safe hunters, it also showed hunter retention reten-tion in Utah is on the decline. It also clearly shows regulations regula-tions that limit youth participation partici-pation have a negative impact on a state's ability to attract future hunters.
