The M.N.R. will issue you a temporary Outdoors Card and will mail you a permanent card. With your Outdoors Card you can purchase licenses for the specific species of game you wish to hunt. There is no charge for this card. During the Apprenticeship period, a young hunter is required to share not only a single bag limit with the mentor, but to share a firearm as well. This ensures that the mentor will be able to exercise an adequate level of control over the apprentice's use of the firearm.
Federal laws allow youth to use firearms under direct supervision of a legal gun owner.
For students who are 15 to 17 years old, you are eligible to obtain your own, full-privelege Outdoors Card, which allows you to buy your own hunting license. A Minor's Firearm Licence is required for the youth to borrow and use a hunting shotgun or rifle outside of the immediate supervision of the owner of the Firearm.
