Senate OKs hunters giving big-game permits to grandkidsPHOENIX - A bill that would allow hunters to transfer coveted big-game permits to their grandchildren would help preserve Arizona’s hunting tradition and ensure that the permits get used, its sponsor says.“We lose children that might want to hunt because of generation gaps,” said Rep.

HB 2116 won unanimous approval Monday from the state Senate and will be sent to Gov. Janet Napolitano.
