I'm not sure exactly what you're asking but up here in BC, Canada once a kid turns 10, he can apply for is CORE (Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education) ticket which gives him the right to buy a hunting license. Until they are 12, they can hunt under parent supervision and share their parent's bag limit. Once they're 12, they can have their own bag limit. Once they're 18, they can apply for an FAC (Firearm Acquisition Certificate) and can buy and carry their own guns. But not until they're 19 can they hunt on their own.
I'm 18 now and will get my FAC shortly. I've been hunting since I was a little kid and I have to say that if you're being told that the 12-16 year old age bracket has to be one of the smallest and therefore have the least amount of incidences? Also, up here we have a very good education program and a very tough course to pass. You have to score at least 80% to pass. Does that help??
