It is an offense for a minor to fail to be under the immediate supervision of a duly permitted and authorized supervising adult when hunting on public hunting lands. For a minor who has received hunter education certification, the requirement for immediate supervision is relaxed to the extent that the authorized supervising adult is required only to be present on the public hunting area. The authorized supervising adult is responsible for the actions and liability of the minor.
