I might be wrong,but I believe it is age 10-14 can hunt with adult on state or private land,age 12-14 can hunt alone but only on private land and age 14+ can hunt alone on state or private land.

10&11 yr olds may only use a bow for deer hunting.12&13yr olds may hunt deer with firearm, only on private and Commercial forest lands.All hunters under 17yrs must be accompanied by parent/guardian or someone 18yrs or older.

Bow or now Crossbow for under 12, At least this week... the DNRE likes to change the rules at will...

I'm taking my 10yr daughter hunting at my brothers place on the 19/20th... she was bummed that she cant use a firearm. I don't think I'll get her a license this year because she hasn't had much practice with the crossbow.
