Default RE: Letting Young Kids Kill Deer: Is It Right?

Striper Phil,

My state, Mississippi, not only allows youngsters to pull the trigger, it encourages them to do so by holding a youth weekend hunt the weekend before the general deer season opens. It also holds a youth weekend hunt the weekend before turkey season. The young are the future of hunting. Not allowing them to hunt is criminal in my mind. Any state that would prohibit a youngster from shooting a deer or turkey is a state that I wouldn't want to live. This again is another area where I question where our nation is going when I hear of crap like this.
