BT. In OH. since sunday hunting and their youth either sex deer gun season that takes place smack dab in the middle of the rut was implemented a few years ago their youth participation in hunting has increased a dramatic 53%!!!
But our PGC. continues to hand out coloring books and implements useless things like this youth rabbit season and at the same time continues to lose the interest of our youth!!
And by the way OH. implemented the same youth mentor program that the PGC. recently implemented years ago but it did nothing to increase youth participation in the sate of OH.
The PGC. knows all of the info I just provided and knows that they dont have to reinvent the wheel in regards to getting more of our youth involved in our sport but refuse to do anything other than hand out coloring books.
In my opinion, the rich hunting tradition and the future of the sport of hunting in PA. should be just as important as the wildlife and habitat of PA. but the PGC. has done nothing other than to try and kill our rich heritage. Pike
