Scott Walker signed a bill that eliminates the state's minimum age. Walker quietly signed the Republican bill Saturday, exactly a week before the state's nine-day gun deer hunting was set to open. A Wisconsin resident must be at least 12 years old to purchase a hunting license or hunt with a gun. The new law allows children of any age to participate in a mentored hunt and allows mentor and student to each carry a weapon. Several groups, including Whitetails Unlimited and the National Rifle Association, registered in favor of the Wisconsin bill.
