    Laws on minors hunting and shooting

    2010 Arizona Revised Statutes Title 13 - Criminal Code 13-3111 Minors prohibited from carrying or possessing firearms; exceptions; seizure and forfeiture; penalties; classification 13-3111. Minors prohibited from carrying or possessing firearms; exceptions; seizure and forfeiture; penalties; classification A. Except as provided in subsection B, an unemancipated person who is under eighteen years of age and who is unaccompanied by a parent, grandparent or guardian, or a certified hunter safety instructor or certified firearms safety instructor acting with the consent of the unemancipated person's parent or guardian, shall not knowingly carry or possess on his person, within his immediate control, or in or on a means of transportation a firearm in any place that is open to the public or on any street or highway or on any private property except private property owned or leased by the minor or the minor's parent, grandparent or guardian. B. This section does not apply to a person who is fourteen, fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years of age and who is any of the following: 1. Engaged in lawful hunting or shooting events or marksmanship practice at established ranges or other areas where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited. 2. Engaged in lawful transportation of an unloaded firearm for the purpose of lawful hunting. 3. Engaged in lawful transportation of an unloaded firearm between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. for the purpose of shooting events or marksmanship practice at established ranges or other areas where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited. 4. Engaged in activities requiring the use of a firearm that are related to the production of crops, livestock, poultry, livestock products, poultry products, or ratites or in the production or storage of agricultural commodities. C. If the minor is not exempt under subsection B and is in possession of a firearm, a peace officer shall seize the firearm at the time the violation occurs. D. In addition to any other penalty provided by law, a person who violates subsection A shall be subject to the following penalties: 1. If adjudicated a delinquent juvenile for an offense involving an unloaded firearm, a fine of not more than two hundred fifty dollars, and the court may order the suspension or revocation of the person's driver license until the person reaches eighteen years of age. If the person does not have a driver license at the time of the adjudication, the court may direct that the department of transportation not issue a driver license to the person until the person reaches eighteen years of age. 2. If adjudicated a delinquent juvenile for an offense involving a loaded firearm, a fine of not more than five hundred dollars, and the court may order the suspension or revocation of the person's driver license until the person reaches eighteen years of age. If the person does not have a driver license at the time of the adjudication, the court may direct that the department of transportation not issue a driver license to the person until the person reaches eighteen years of age. 3. If adjudicated a delinquent juvenile for an offense involving a loaded or unloaded firearm, if the person possessed the firearm while the person was the driver or an occupant of a motor vehicle, a fine of not more than five hundred dollars and the court shall order the suspension or revocation of the person's driver license until the person reaches eighteen years of age. If the person does not have a driver license at the time of adjudication, the court shall direct that the department of transportation not issue a driver license to the person until the person reaches eighteen years of age.

Upon adjudication or conviction of a person for a violation of this section, the court shall order the firearm forfeited. However, the law enforcement agency shall return the firearm to the lawful owner if the identity of that person is known. F. If the court finds that the parent or guardian of a minor found responsible for violating this section knew or reasonably should have known of the minor's unlawful conduct and made no effort to prohibit it, the parent or guardian is jointly and severally responsible for any fine imposed pursuant to this section or for any civil actual damages resulting from the unlawful use of the firearm by the minor. G. This section is supplemental to any other law imposing a criminal penalty for the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon.

    Scouting

    I mainly e-scout and send PM's. LOL But seriously. I try to scout all year and have some favorite places to hunt that typically hold deer. With so many back to back hunts in some units it makes it tougher to scout leading up to a particular hunt.
  3. I did it when I was 16, mandatory in NY. It is also mandatory in Colorado I believe for anyone born after 1949. Both my kids accompanied me on hunts from the time they were about 4 and when they asked to hunt does on the Kaibab they went through Hunter Ed in Gilbert which was evening classes. Maybe four or six. It was fun and they enjoyed it. Especially my daughter because she got a higher score than me. When they are ready to drive are you just going to throw them some keys? If you let them skate and circumvent the rules now they will think they can do it for everything else in life and you will be "potentially" picking up after them until they are in their 40's. They need to earn it and understand fail and reward. G&F needs to have a lot more of these classes and make it easier for people to attend them. Kids and adults really get a lot out of these classes, way more than one parent can teach their kids, because the mere nature of being in an interactive environment with two or three instructors and thirty other people is years of knowledge crammed into a few weeks. Your a good guy Adam and I know you love your kids but you have your work cut out for you to bring them around and show them the value in it and explain that this is just they way it is and ask them just how bad they want it. Everyone fears failure, that is just human nature. When they want it bad enough they will settle down and come around but do not fall into their trap, which is hard when you love your kids so much. You're on the right path, but in the end the choice is up to them. This class should not be an online class that can be taken willie nillie by kids or someone else.

    Fishing shirt with SPF

    Ever been to Cameron LA? Nope, the furthest west I've been was Cocodrie. I spend most of my time on the water between Cut Off and Grand Isle.

    Fishing shirt with SPF

    I do a lot of fishing in the gulf and in and around the marshes in Louisiana. My personal preference is a shirt with a collar 90% of the time usually with underarmour shirt underneath it. I lift each shirt up off the rack in the store and it is usually the lighter the shirt the more expensive it is. I try to buy on sales and off season so I'm not paying $50 for a shirt all the time. For days when the temps are under 70 and overcast I wear my CWT long sleeve shirt.

    If you hunt near the Arizona Trail here is a helpful sheet of water sources. http://www.fredgaudetphotography.com/aztrail/watercurrent.pdf http://www.fredgaudetphotography.com/aztrail/waterhist.pdf

    AZ Game and Fish fall draw

    I figured this would happen again so I took care of it a couple of weeks ago. No more waiting until the last minute for me anymore since they are only dinging me $13 a pop.

    Aggressive bear

    No cubs around? I had a big one charge my truck last year when I was coming off the rez into Eagle Creek. I was glad to be driving and not walking.

    Tropical fish: Free mollys

    They do pretty well in ponds too. I netted a bunch of green ones with a seine in the lower salt river back around 2002. Maybe Petco or Petsmart will take them or you can offer them up on the Arizona Tropical Fish Hobbyists Facebook Page.

    6A late muzzy hunt and snow

    Not sure when this hunt is but I have hunted 6A twice in late November and we had rough weather for a few days both time which made the roads pretty soupy. One year we had two days straight of thunderstorms which brought rain and snow and fog lowering visibility to 50 yards.

    Todays Project…Horse Drawn Fresno Wheels

    I've spent some time camping in Honeymoon and got to talk a to younger kid who was working on 4Drag a few years ago and told me he had a firearm stolen from his vehicle and said he was pretty sure that it was the work of a couple of guys he knew that were always up to no good. Sad to thing even out there people can't be trusted.
