Question on Age

My 10 year old took his first turkey this year...Not with a bow. He shoots a bow but is no where good enough to hunt with it.
 
Iowa does not have a minimum age for hunters. On page 3 of the 2004 Iowa Deer and Fall Turkey Hunting Regulations and License Instructions (under EXCEPTIONS) it states:

* "Resident hunters under 16 years old hunting under the direct supervision of an adult need only a deer or turkey hunting license. The adult must be properly licensed to hunt deer or wild turkey."

* Resident hunters ages 12 through 15 who are permitted to hunt without adult supervision must have a hunting license and hunter education certification in addition to a paid deer or turkey hunting license."

Hopefully this answers your question.
