If a person under 16 has to buy the bait permit that means they would be held responsible to pay a ticket if caught hunting over bait without it, correct? Would the parent of the (say a 4 year old) child have to pay the ticket for them? Seeing that State recognizes an under 16 year old to hold a permit then the said 4 year old would get the ticket and would the parent not be responsible for paying it? This could become a case, but it's more hypothetical right now than anything. I would like to see a game warden actually give a child a ticket like this.
