I know you were being sarcastic, but you were right on the money whether you intended to be or not.
Simply cant counter the maleffect the pee poor deer herd has on recruitment & retention by letting a few kids hunt a couple more days for things like tree-rats etc... Hasnt worked with the squirrel. Hasnt worked with the pheasant. Hasnt worked with the spring gobbler. Hasnt worked with the waterfowl, and it aint gonna work with the rabbit.
Most hunters hunt DEER and plenty of opportunity, already exists for rabbit. Any kid wanting to hunt already has Oct through mid february....But gee, maybe if we extend it from may to may all the kids without dads that already take them hunting will all rush to the woods? lmao.
Btw, im not AGAINST it. I dont care one way or the other. Its of very little consequence. Wont accomplish a darn thing, but wont hurt anything either. Just keeping things in perspective is all. Pgc is doing nothing more than acting like they care and acting as if they are doing something to address a real problem. Addressing it with a solution that they too, know is 100% meaningless other than for pr purposes.
BTW, i think you misunderstood lanse when you said.
"small game youth hunts that require far less logistics and hunting area"..
This is not a proposal for an organized hunt. This is adding youth only time to statewide seasons that they are proposing.
