Yes, Charlie, it is a good opportunity.

However, why do we need "extra" or "special" days to get our sons/daughters into the woods?

That's my big question, perhaps it's just more an introspection about our society in general.

And of course, as others have argued, if we have a separate season for our "youths", then where will the favors end and how will the bleeding stop?

Think about muzzleloading season...when it was suggested and implemented, I don't think anyone imagined the possibility of in-line powderless "muzzleloaders" more accurate than modern slug guns.

So who gets next in line...a special "womans" hunt, "seniors" hunt---who could also benefit due to some being not as fit and needing assistance, "non-resident" day...

I, in general, just think it sets a very bad precedent. You want your kids in the woods, then take them in the woods---during the season, the same as everyone else.
