Because it can be difficult to recruit hunters, you should make sure that your minimum age is at least three.
Minnesota allows youths aged 10-13 to obtain an apprenticeship hunting permit. Licensed adults must accompany apprentice hunters on a trip, and a mentor must be at least 21 years old.

An adult must accompany the apprentice hunter and they must both be current-year hunters license holders. Licenses may be purchased for larger game once the apprentice hunter reaches 16 years of age.
Youth consolidated hunt/trap licence
If they are a state resident, a youth can get a hunting license with a combined hunt/trap permit. If they aren't a resident, they can still purchase a combined license. A county clerk or city agent can sell a license to a non-resident youth. The state statutes establishing the requirements for the license are SS 29.1-303.3 and SS 29.1-304, respectively.
For hunters younger than 17 years, this license is mandatory. A hunting or trapping annual license can be applied for by anyone aged 16 and older. Except for the fact that the license cannot be transferred, it has all the same requirements as a lifetime license. This license also includes a damage stamp required by Article 3 of the chapter. The license is issued to residents only, and is not transferable. Licenses issued prior the 1 July 1988 are not transferable.
