Alsheimer agrees with you PA.I asked my friend to respond to the idea of no exemptions for first time hunters or youth hunters when it comes to antler restrictions. He said. “I think it's ridiculous to place such rules on kids. Kids are processing a lot of rules when it comes to hunting…. safety, taking good shots, ethics, etc. Overloading them with all this, then requiring that they be able to make a snap decision regarding the size of a buck’s antlers width is a bit much. They cannot handle it. If you place too many rules on youngsters, they’ll quit. Kids want to be successful. There have been many studies done that show that kids who are not successful drop out of the endeavor./b] Good Article Our young generation is a fast food generation. I've worked w/youth at church, apprentice lineman and my own kids. This one statement says it all. Thanks for posting.
I really disagree PA, and that's OK. I really don't buy into the Give every Kid an A attitude. Failure brings success. I have a hard time swallowing the Entitlement generations antics. If its too much for them to be able to discern between a legal deer and a not legal deer, then maybe they shouldn't be standing behind a high powered rifle, willing to take a life.
I also think there should be cow tags for youth in the North west corner where there are no cow. BTW, it's nice to have civil discussion.

There should be cow tags for where there are no cows? Is that how you meant it? I too was thinking it was nice to have a relatively less flammatory conversation about a "Hot Topic"
I'd rather get the population higher first. I only like antlerless hunts when the population needs to be thinned out for health reasons, damage control or carrying capacity. I very much disagree with antlerless hunts just for opportunity.
I'd go statewide all species(deer).......but thats just me.
