Why? Because she had the drive to go on 100 websites to try and drum up votes. These "elections" or "opinion polls" online are all bogus, they mean nothing. But when an 18 year old girl wants to go hunting that bad, I support her in her effort even though I don't know her.

Reading her essay reminded me of ME when I was that age, and that is more and more rare that youth feel that way, especially in girls.

I even messaged her and told her about our Father/Daughter hunting weekend at my ranch here in Texas that we hold every year and told her if interested that she and her Dad could come hunt here the next time in Texas. To me encouraging youth in hunting is one of the things that still gives me pleasure.
