Q: I plan on hunting this fall in the shotgun deer hunt. My son is 14 and has his small game licence. He turns 15 in September. Can he hunt under my licence, or do I have to put him in the draw? Tom Park, Chatham Kent A: No. As a 15-year old, your son would need his own deer licence and controlled deer hunt validation on his licence summary to be able to hunt in a controlled deer hunt.
