Default RE: CNN against youth hunters?!?

I've not watched CNN since the Bush Gore race either. In Pa there is a bill on the Governors desk that will allow kids to go out into the woods at an earlier age with a 21 year old as the mentor. Not 100% sure of all the details, but I understand that only one firearm may be carried afield and the kid must stay within arms reach of the mentor. It's not just the industry that is pushing for this, but also state governments who realize that hunting in their state generates massive annual revenues. I like the idea of allowing some kids to get out at a younger age. We cansave them before the video games and computers do their damage.
