http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/newsmedia/releases/?req=20081110aParks and Wildlife is considering a change to the early youth only season to include the entire month of October. Thats right OCTOBER. What is now archery only season would become archery for adults and youth gun season.That would really screw me at my hunt club. The 2 day early season had the lease over run with nieces, nephews, sons, daughters, 2nd cousins, step sons grandbabys, etc.
Don't get me wrong, I want to see kids get involved in hunting and do all I can to get kids out during the general season. I don't want the entire Archery Only season run concurrent with a youth gun season.
How many adults are out there hunting during youth only and bringing a kid along just to fill a tag?
