I THINK THAT A YOUTH SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SHOOT ANY DEER HE/SHE CHOOSES TO HARVEST.I KNOW PLENTY OF ADULTS THAT WOULD AND WILL SHOOT THE FIRST DEER THEY GET A CRACK DURING ARCHERY,SO YOU CAN'T EXPECT A KID TO HOLD OFF FOR A BIGGER ANIMAL.
AS FAR AS THE DEER KILL,I FEEL THAT THE ANTLER RESTRICTIONS MAY HAVE HURT THE NUMBERS A LITTLE,BUT UP HERE IN FRANKLIN COUNTY,THE PLACES I HUNT,THE DEER NUMBERS ARE ALREADY WAY DOWN.I FEEL THAT THE COYOTE PROBLEM UP THIS WAY IS BEING OVERLOOKED.I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET A 4 PT.DURING ARCHERY,AND THE ENTIRE GUT PILE WAS GONE IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS.ON 1 OF THE FARMS I HUNT,THE FARMER HAS LOST CALVES TO COYOTES.AND ONE OF HIS NEIGHBORS HAD A TRAIL CAMERA SET UP ON A COYOTE DEN,AND IT HAD PICTURES OF 11 DIFFERENT FAWNS BEING BROUGHT BACK TO THAT DEN(I DON'T KNOW IF HE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR NOT).
