  • Are in the immediate presence of an adult who is at least 21 years of age and possesses valid hunter education certification, or who was born on or before Dec. 31, 1968;
  • Possess a valid Arkansas hunting license;
  • Have not been convicted of or forfeited bond for prior violation of Hunter Education Certification Requirements, and
  • Are not under AGFC-sanctioned hunting privilege revocation
