Kids?

Hey Buster got a question for you. On another site you answered a question about somone taking their grand kids out rabbit hunting with them. Even though they haven't had the hunting class and they would not have a gun with them. You said that as long as they weren't kicking the brush or trying to push game out it would be okay. Just want to understand this better. So why would it be against the rules if they were doing that? I'm just probably wrong here but I always thought you had to be carrying a gun to be considered hunting. Just kind of don't understand that I guess.

Reason I ask is a good friend of mine has his dad walk through the woods during the last week of gun season to try to push a deer to him. And this seems to be the same thing as a kid trying to push out a rabbit for his grandpa..
Thanks
BB
