In Colorado there is no minimum age to hunt deer, small game, etc. In our most recent hunter education class, our state wildlife officer said that this age subject came up again recently, BUT they decided to stay with no minimum. Kids that can't read yet are given an oral test (we had two kids under twelve who took AND PASSED that test).
So thus it is the ability to know the subject, demonstrate safe firearm handling and shooting, and communicating by voice and ear. Note that these kids all had parents supporting them. But these kids still can hunt if they wish.
