[QUOTE="CAW, post: 4156484, member: 8864"] I think that TWRA made two HUGE mistakes this year when it comes to the future of our sport... 1. Moving youth weekend to compete with Halloween. Kids have so many other things to distract them from hunting, the last thing we needed to do was add one more. Having kids decide between Halloween with their friends or hunting was totally unnecessary and just a bad idea. 2. The two buck limit is really bad for kids. When it first came out, I was all in favor of it and thought it would help our age structure. But after experiencing the impact of the law when it comes to kids, I do not like it one bit. Kids like to shoot deer and very few of them are going to hold out for 3.5+ year old deer. For example, my son killed one with his bow and one with his gun. The deer he killed with his bow was 2.5, the one he killed with his gun was 3.5. He was tagged out by Thanksgiving. Christmas break rolls around and he is not really that interested in hunting anymore since he his tagged out. If he had one more tag, he could have kept hunting even if he didn't kill another buck. The other issue is that there are no "real" tags. With no real tag system, the 2 buck limit makes no sense to me. The guys that were selective before are still being selective and are likely killing 1-2 bucks a season. The guys that weren't selective are still killing the same deer and probably using their wive's or kids license to keep on killing. I say we go back to 3 to give the kids more opportunity, that's my vote. Oh, and move the dang youth hunt off of Halloween! [/QUOTE]
