My private land is land that my family owns and that I only let 3 other guys hunt on. It's 460 acres.This proposition would be detrimental to the Texas deer herd more specifically the west and central Texas deer. I can't make the deer that I watch all summer stay on my property. That is why I bow hunt every weekend in October to get the advantage to the average Texas rifle hunter. I have been managing my property very hard for the last four years and opening up archery only season to youths would put a huge hit in my efforts. Every 1 yr old deer that stepped out would be shot. For the first time in my life, I have a P&Y deer on my property and a few prospects for next year. The reason is because I don't shoot anything under 4 yr old. With youths being able to hunt in October all around me, more young deer would be taken and the deer would be scared the whole season. I am all for taking kids hunting. I can't wait to have a son of my own to pass on my most sacred passion to. But, making an entire month of youth only season will do more harm than good. Take the kids hunting in the regular deer season. Don't encroach on the much needed archery only season.
