Young hunters will now have a chance to pursue waterfowl and bears according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Officials say mentored hunters ages 7 and up will be able to purchase their own bear license, while those under age 7 must receive a valid bear license through transfer from an adult mentor.
And in addition to their mentored hunting permit, a Pennsylvania migratory bird license will now be required if they are hunting waterfowl.
The measured adopted will also allow mentored hunters ages 7 and older to buy their own special sprint turkey license.
