Well, I looked at the regulation and it says that all licensed hunters need to have HIP. My son won't be licensed so I don't think he needs it. I went to new archery shop in Deridder and they tried to get a HIP certificate printed out for him but they were not able to do it. The regs should state that everyone, regardless of age, should have it, instead of all licensed hunters if that is indeed what the dept of wildlife wants. Anyway, he does not have his HIP and I am going to carry the regulation with me when we hunt.
