My 2 cents on the Junior Hunt.....

[Taurusguy]

There is only a 1 MD limit in regions 3-8 .... regions 1 and 2 allow for a 2nd deer... but good luck.. hunting is soo tough in region 2 and I'm not going to the island for a 2nd deer.

But the cut back on deer in 3-8 was a great idea... now if I could just find some good white tail spots .. lol

See, this is where I have issues with this site.
The OP just brought up a "discussion".
Yes, it is based on "his opinion" and experiences.
Cant we just leave it to a discussion, rather then put someone down for putting up a thread/post?
Why start heading into the "bashing" part over it?
If your fine with the Youth Season, just say so, and/or give reason why.
If you have concern's, then say so.
I just don't understand why so many times things have to get "personal"?

I am all for the youth season, the opening of the restriction allows for for more opportunity to see deer and more opportunity TO PASS on unethical shots for the sole reason of filling a tag. I think as fathers and mentors of the next generation of hunters we need to be focusing hard on teaching the youth ethics, responsibility, hard work, patience for the right shot, and respect for the sport we all enjoy. I don’t see this as an opportunity to “open” my tag to a super tag but rather an opportunity to watch many deer walk that were not an ethical or confident shot, knowing it’s not the only opportunity your youth will get. And to the OP why not spend your time finding local youth and teaching them NOT to be unethical and to be the change you wantto see rather than trying to close this opportunity down.

Just St my two cents

I guess because lately, unfounded emotion based opinions have resulted in some serious outcomes.

I am all for youth season but I have seen some less than stellar fathers/uncles/grandfathers with their youth while hunting in the bush early season archery.

As long as these youth are being mentored in the right and ethical direction then I think its great!

I do agree that the season could be shorter but I also see the other side of the equation which allows them more time to take an ethical shot.

Good thread. Keep it professional people.

I'm for it but would like to see it not overlap with archery season and maybe limit the age to 16 instead of 18.

Really this coming from you

Really this coming from you

What??????????????????
Incredible, and so out of context as usual....made me laugh LBM.

[Cyrus]

I'm sorry, but I have to laugh at you...
I suppose there are massive amounts of kids sitting around getting drunk all day right???

Why don't you think before you speak.

You may be right about entitlement issues but all I see here is jealousy and resentment.

yawwwnnnnn...thanks for that!

The youth season is not 30 days it’s 10 days! What the youth get is to be able to take any buck not restricted to 4 point only for the additional 20 days! I am in full support of that ! If I had it my way (not entitled) they would be the only ones allowed to harvest a yearling buck all season long! How do you think my 12 or 13 year olds feel when they pass up the same bucks all season long to have some entitled hunter roll up and shoot them off moms tit? The youth season is not the problem, it’s people that think to have a successful hunt you have to kill something!
