IMO putting AR on youth hunters would be a mistake! When teaching my nephew to fish when he was little I took him to small ponds where I knew we would catch a lot of sun fish and some pickerel that hit anything that moves in the water! The excitement of catching all those fish even though they were small got him hooked (no pun intended) on fishing! Now that he is older and understands it better he fishes for bigger fish but still enjoys catching the smaller ones. Making a young mind pass on too many smaller bucks can and will discourage many young people from wanting to go back! We as hunters need to build on our numbers not take away from them! The anti groups are getting bigger every year and the hunting groups are shrinking! Let the young hunters enjoy the success of taking a buck even if it's not a trophy in your mind! I know it will be a trophy in thier minds and they will be hooked on this great way of life we call hunting! Force them to look for bigger deer when they get older and are already hooked!
