Do the mentored youth need to be Hunter Education certified?
No, but they must review and acknowledge understanding of material on safe hunting practices provided by ODFW. This Safe Hunting Information section must be reviewed by both supervising hunter and youth and the youth must keep a signed copy of the form on their person during the hunt. Any youth that participates in the program must also annually complete a registration form and mail it to ODFW, Information and Education, 3406 Cherry Ave NE, Salem, OR 97302.
