I totally agree with this. Of the people I personally know that don't like youth season,they have self centered personalities and don't have kids. With having a youth season all of the adults attention can be on making sure the youth hunter is being safe and having an enjoyable outdoor experience and not split between getting his own turkey or deer (which ever the case may be) and getting a shot opportunity for the youth hunter. Not to mention all the safety issues that come with the added hunting pressure on public land during the regular season.
I think the youth season is a great thing and have already accounted for some great memories with my 8 year old and in the past with my older son. Wish they would have had them in Indiana when I was a boy.
