First Thing to change would be youth season. The bucks travel long distances in my area, these bucks goe across miles of properties. Every Tax paying deer hunter waits for opening day, when everyone has a fair chance at a big one with Rifle. When these Giant Bucks are shot a week before statewide season opens, then these deer are gone forever and alot of properties become "dry" of the Bucks that were there. I personall do not beleave that a 2 year old even knows or respects Big Buck deer, or even knows what he just shot with a 300 winchester mag. I can only speak for what I have seen in my area. The youth season is abused. I have heardFathers brag of having 6 Buck tags because they have a big family. Also the last evening of youth season in my area, the gravel roads are bumper to bumper trucks driving around with kids piled on top of each other in the seat, with dad having a 7-mag hanging out the window. I personaly know of more than one that took 8+ bucks this past youth season, all in a close area. I beleave, and know that some of these guy's would get a youth tag if his wife had a fetus in her womb. I understand these are extreme cases and there are surely more fathers that do it right and dont abuse the hunt, but enough of this is true and Missouri should change the youth season to doe only, and have it after statewide Rifle. I beleave that Land owners and tax paying hunters should have a fair chance to harvest these deer. If I see one more 3 year old on the front page of the local paper with a 180 inch buck with a 460 rigby draped over it, I think I'll drop dead. ......Just my opinion, its a sad joke.
