[QUOTE="Lt.Dan, post: 5903341, member: 23645"] Congratulations to her. And I'm sure everyone who replies are the people who are doing the right thing. I'm positive nobody will admit they shot a deer for their kid, and let the kid tag it, as that would be admitting to a crime. And to be clear, I am [B] not[/B] accusing you EastTNHunter of doing that. The point I was trying to make is most every one of these youths are walked out to a stand, shooting house or blind. Shooting off a bench or sticks. They sleep until a deer walks by, woken up and told to shoot. Now of course I can't prove any of this. But I see picture after picture after picture of kids asleep in shooting houses. Then a picture of a the same kid with a trophy buck. Just seems mighty suspicious to me. I think there should be no youth season. Let them get out there and work for their deer. It will teach them so much more. It will teach them about the work that needs to be put in to be successful hunt. It will teach them of the disappointment of making a mistake that costs them to spook that deer. The best way to learn is by making those mistakes and learning from them. Side story: a guy who hunt the same area I do had his son out there hunting. He was 16 or 17. He missed a beautiful buck. His dad was telling me how he cried and kicked trees because he was so upset. I missed that same deer that same day about 2 hours later. It was running through the woods. I shot a tree. Disappointing for both of us to say the least. Here is a pic of that deer I got on a trail camera [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSCF0021~2.JPG"]227705[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
