BT, do you have a beef with the PGC lately?


I too feel thatsome of thescum bags out there will take advantage of this. Some guys stoop to a really low level.

They'll shoot a sub legal buck, go home and get their daughter, come back and take the deer out of the woods.

Some guys will just shoot at any antlered buck and count points as it lays on the ground. If it isn't legal, the do the above scenerio.

Now if I could wave a magic wand, I'd create a seperate one or two day season earlier in the fall when the weather is more comfortable for young kids. Only kids under 12 would be permitted to hunt. To hunt this special season would require a special licence and tag, for a very low cost ($5). This would raise a little $$$ for the PGC and prevent some of the bad scenerios we've mentioned.

I don't think mentors would mind paying $5 for their young hunter to get an early chance at a buck. The deer would be more relaxed giving the little hunters a better chance. Maybe the scumbag mentors wouldn't be tempted to do the shooting, knowing they'll get a chance later on in the season.
