I've never really seen the point in youth hunts, you can already take a kid to any hunt or any season. The generation before this all got into hunting without special youth opportunities all over the place. If that were still the case none of this would be controversial, just a parent and child going hunting and it doesn't matter who pulls the trigger.

See this way too often. My son is grown now and I still love hunting with him. He is the 1 in fact that took me duck hunting for the first time and absolutely love it. I am still a huge fan of getting kids in the woods and on the water. I will gladly take any child any season when ever they want to go.There are parents out there too selfish to take their kids during the regular season but I don’t know that youth day here or there will fix the damage that comes from that.
I agree 100%. Nothing says a parent can't take their kid opening day of the REGULAR season.I've never really seen the point in youth hunts, you can already take a kid to any hunt or any season.

I took my kids alligator hunting last year and gator was tagged under their name but obviously they didn’t do it alone without my help.
I think the point of some of the adult child big game hunts are to give kids first crack at deer or whatever. The game are less spooked, more of them, etc. I killed my first deer on a GA adult child hunt at Blanton Creek WMA 26 years ago and I’ve taken my kids on lots of adult child hunts over the years. We’ve had many great memorable hunts.
I’m glad the state has these special hunts on a few WMAs and I’m also glad state allows kids to hunt hunt with rifles muzzleloader season and a chance at gobblers one weekend before the adults. if you are an adult hunter who is jealous that kids get a chance at your deer or Turkey before you do, I’m sorry.
whats the harm in giving children one weekend earlier to hunt un-pressured deer, Turkey, whatever???I agree 100%. Nothing says a parent can't take their kid opening day of the REGULAR season.

Because it is not and never has been necessary.
But I guess I see a difference in a 5 year old hunting an elk vs a deer, even if there is no difference in reality.
yea but like in Alabama most 5 year olds have beards and can drive a car. when you ask them how old they are they go 1,2,3,4,5 .........I must be 5. yea but your 6ft tall, maybe I'm 6 then !!!!Until a kid can safely carry, hold, and operate a gun for himself, he's got no business being an excuse for Dad to kill a deer....
like the idea of youth getting a crack at something before greedy adults do
Go sit with them then. Your not the one if this occurs! The parent is and they will have to live with it.Unless those 'greedy adults' are using kids during youth hunts
