This shouldnt even be an issue. With plummetting youth numbers, all hunters, regardless of your weapon of choice, should embrace any attempts to get more kids involved in the sport.
I guess that's they way I should have put it. And to be fair to the other side, I do not hunt public land so maybe my point of view is skewed.
But I do know this; the number of hunters continue to decrease each year. That means in the near future we will have fewer and fewer people fighting for our rights. If any of you have never seen the joy on a kids face when he kills his first deer, squirrell, rabbit or duck then you are truely missing out on one of the best blessings our sport has to offer.
