My dislike for special youth hunts/seasons goes further than hunting. I have no fears of a kid shooting "my" game. It seems like kids in general these days are handed everything, and don't get to learn how to work harder for what you want. Sporting games where they don't keep score, tests that don't have failing grades...how are these kids prepared for real life where there are winners and losers, and you need to work for what you get. Does it make it that great to achieve something, when you are given a substantial advantage? If a kid is only going to be hooked on hunting cause he/she has an easy time killing something, they are missing so much ofthe big picture.
