Senate Bill 529, a top legislative priority for NRA-ILA, would establish a mentored hunting program in the Badger State. Sponsored by State Senator Robert Wirch (D-22), this legislation is similar to last year?s mentored hunting bill in that it would provide first-time hunters a ?try before you buy? opportunity to get the full experience of hunting before committing to a hunter education course. SB529 would require a new hunter to be accompanied by a licensed hunter who is at least 18 years of age, who is always within arms reach and only one firearm will be allowed between the two of them. This bill will also lower the hunting age in Wisconsin from 12 to 10 for individuals participating in the mentored hunting program.
