When the question arises as to how old a youngster should be to hunt big game, the answer varies by state. Here in New York, a 12-year-old can hunt deer provided they have completed a course in both Hunter Education and Bowhunter Education if they also want to hunt deer with a bow or crossbow.
The law stipulates that the youngster must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or youth mentor 21 years or older.

Perhaps it’s the new e-tag reporting system or another factor? Either way, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said that reported whitetail harvests from the three-day youth hunting weekend, which took place Oct. 11-13, saw a 20% increase over 2024.
“Likely this reflects a combination of factors, including a minor increase in the number of eligible youth hunters, and possibly an increase in (the) number of deer taken and rate at which youth hunters reported.”

Deer hunting season in New York reaches its zenith when the Southern Zone regular season begins Saturday, Nov. 15. It is the state’s busiest hunting day of the year, and busiest hunting weekend overall.
With the opener comes a series of changes for hunters this season. Most notably, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s conversion to E-tags. No longer do big game (deer, bear) and turkey hunters need to attach a paper tag to the carcass as long as they remain in possession of it in their residence or vehicle.
