Quote from: Seabass on October 06, 2013, 08:23:13 PMMy son and daughter have had no issues killing legal bucks for the last 3 years now. The rule was implemented the first year my daughter hunted. She was 10 at the time. She didn't know what the old days were like. I told her the rules and we hunted. Period. She had to let 2 or 3 walk before she got her chance. Big fricking deal! I looked at it as more days to be in the wods with my little girl. She looked at it as that's just the way it is. We saw a moose that season and had to pass on it as well. Most kids are entitled little whiners because we made them that way. They are going to have to follow rules they don't agree with there entire lives. If a rule keeps them out of the woods or lack of "success" makes them loose interest then they probably weren't that into it anyway and might not become life long hunters. My 10 year old son had to hunt to the very last day of the season last year before he got it done. It was AWESOME! My kids play a ton of sports and deal with disappointment all the time. Why should hunting be any different?No kidding...I get the feeling that alot of people are in just a hurry to fill their tags!! I dont get it... I love being in the outdoors and hunting.

Why should hunting be any different?A voice of reason. How is this the voice of reason? It's nice to live close to where you hunt, you can take your kids hunting after school and on the weekends, it's nice to not worry about getting your deer meat because you have an elk in the frizzier, but if you don't have an elk in the frizzier and are taking your kids out of school to go on vacation with you to hunt, that's a different story. Time is a factor. It's great that I'm home now and can hunt out the back door, but for the last 8 years I took vacation to come home and hunt, I would take more time off then my kids so I could help my Dad on the farm, the most I could take my daughters out of school was a week, sometimes only a few days, my wife would drive over to visit and take the kids back to the wet side. Not all kids are entitled little whiners, my kids and the ones I've taken hunting except the fact that you don't always fill your tag. I do know it's not going to destroy the deer population to let kids shoot any buck.
All but 1 of those bucks would be legal under today's rules.......
PA Ben, Those pics are awesome! It looks like most of your kids don't fall under the youth category anymore.
