DOVER, Del. (AP) - The state has designated a special waterfowl hunting day for children and non-ambulatory disabled hunters.

Hunting on public and private land will be permitted Dec. 8 for hunters ages 10 through 15 and non-ambulatory disabled hunters.

Young hunters must be accompanied by a licensed or exempt hunter over age 21. The children must also be of sufficient physical size and strength to safely handle a firearm.

Hunters age 13 through 15 must have completed a hunter education course, possess a certification card and buy a junior hunting license.

Normal limits and duck hunting regulations apply.
