My son got his hunters Ed course finished and now I'm trying to figure out what else I need to do for him to be legal. He is 13 years old and will still be hunting with me but how do we go about reporting his harvest and does he need a hunting license. I've read it before somewhere but I can't find it now. Any other dad's out there that's went through this that can help me out or a game warden on this site. Thanks in advance guys

i have not read any where that a 13 year old can't buy a license??????

honestly i have no idea .

No license needed. He does need his own harvest record.

Awesome. Thanks guys. He's going to choccolocco on the early gun hunt with me and just wanted to make sure neither us of got into trouble

You can get a Conservation ID# at no cost and this will allow you to register their deer on the Game Check App.

How does a License Exempted Hunter (child under 16, resident landowner or resident 65 and over) report their harvest in Game Check?
The Game Check system requires either a 16-digit License Number OR a 6-digit Conservation ID Number to maintain a hunter’s profile:

Game Check H.E.L.P# is a no-charge license that is available at any hunting license agent. It provides the 16-digit license number needed to access Game Check. (NOTE: this is not needed if you have a hunting or fishing license – you can use that 16-digit license number.) This license must be obtained on an annual basis to access a hunter’s profile

Conservation ID# is a new 6-digit permanent ID# that can be obtained in the Game Check system online (if you have never purchased a license, you would need to obtain a Game Check H.E.L.P. initially to create your record). The Conservation ID, once attained, will serve as the hunter’s access number for life.

Yep Get him the conservation ID#. Get it on line and print it out. I got my grandson one that I carry in my billfold. It looks just like a regular hunting license so he thinks he is a big boy with a huntn license. And that ID# will be his the rest of his life (or until Alabama comes up with something new).

Great info guys and I really appreciate the help on this. Thanks
