How or does my grandson need safety permit this early turkey hunting season in MN.

[x1957x]

My grandson wants to turkey hunt this spring, the problem being is I dont know if or how he would get a firearm course this early in the year. I tried to get him in the course last summer and was told he was to young, that he had to be 12 years of age! He turned 12 on the 30th of Jan. and didnt think about this getting done until now. Any and all advise I would really appreciate.

No worries!

1) get into a course now!

2) take the online course together

Or

3) get him an apprentice license.

All on the MN DNR HSOforum.

There are several spring couses being offered. I'm not sure where you or your grandson are located but there are many option and several classes have already filled up. So you might want to get him signed up soon.

Here's a link the scheduled classes around the state.-----> MN DNR Youth Gun Safety Class Schedule

If you cant get him in which I highly suggest you can get the apprentice Lic and he will be set for the year. It should also cover thru deer season if you still can't get him in the classes.

This what I had to do for my youngest son.

The first FS class filled up so fsat and then the one that was next we were on vacation so I just enrolled him in the hunter apperntice program and no problems even hunting out of state for waterfowl.
