摘要

In a push to recruit more young hunters, Idaho is aiming to lower the age limit for hunting big game.rnThe state Department of Fish and Game is backing a measure that would set the minimum age for hunting bears, elk and other big game at 10rnyears old. Under current law, hunters must be age 12 or older to hunt big game, which requires the use of powerful firearms. The Republicancontrolledrnstate Legislature is expected to approve the change.
