If you truely love the sport, you should want more kids involved.............at any cost.
I understand the point you are attempting to make but the way that statement reads....its kinda silly.

So what should I do? Place an advertisement that all kids are welcome to hunt my private propertry for free anytime they want?Donate rifles and bows to all that come by?Provide air conditioned and heated blinds so that we ensure they enjoy it and want to stay involved? At any cost, right?

Things that I am sure you do all the time in Arkansas.

That being said, I am against it, for the reasons already mentioned, some legimitate (like daddy really pulling the trigger and using the kids tag who may not even be in the field to begin with) and some are selfish (like the buck leaving my property and getting shot by someone else or the deer becoming cautious and nocturnal quicker).

But in the end, we are lucky in Texas in that we have plentiful deer and a long 95 day season in which we can bowhunt. I'll will voice my opinion to the state as being against it, but I am not going to lose a lot of sleep over it either.
