Yeah,he won't be 12 until next year but he's been hunting since he was 7.He's been hunting with a crossbow but he's ready to use a compound this year.He'll need the class before next year to participate in a controlled when he's 12 and the classes are hard to find.I just want to get it over with and also want him to take the class anyway.I called the NW region yesterday and hope to get a call back today but it doesn't look promising that they'll let him in.

I had my son take the course when he was 9. You have to call the game commission office, they will issue a waiver for a kids under 11 to take the class. Tell them you want to be able to get points for him in AZ, as reason for him taking class early.
