Kids get enough breaks as it is. They need to learn the real world doesn't hand them breaks forever. They have to learn to adapt and have self control just like everyone else.
And like I think it was Jason said- ITS ONLY GOING TO BE ROUGH ONE YEAR. After that many bucks are let through, there will be MANY more that qualify than don't. You people act as though the same distribution of bucks will exist after AR as do now.
And a final thing, I don't think AR will produce this huge giant population of monster bucks that will make other states drool. It will just add a better distribution of really nice bucks around the state.

BT, I can and do understand what you're saying about the kids. I just think about it differently than you.

I agree that we need to get more youth invovled, but I don't think giving them something for nothing is the way to do it.

I don't recall Alt saying the kids get a break, but I'm not going to dispute it. I honestly don't know.

I DO UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM ON THIS, but I don't have to agree with you.

Jason, He did say specifically that kids would be excluded in the meetings I attended.
You are absolutely right about not having to agree with me and I apologize if I implied anything different. The biggest mistake I made here is posting my objections before getting the perspective from a 12 year old. He's fine with the new regs! Hopefully, other kids will be ok with it too and you are very correct that It'll only be 1 year before things catch up. If the kid is ok with it, I sure as heck am ok with it.

As for you Terry, I'm glad you funally admitted that you really don't care about these issues. I also have to point out yet again that you didn't read or didn't comprehend my post. What I said was that there is enough time in the fall to expand ALL opportunities for ALL hunters no matter what weapon they choose. You continue to insist that one group must compromise part of their season to satisfy some mythical silent majority. Many reasonable ideas have been posted on these boards but you continue to change your story just to disagree with them and keep the fires a raging. I truly believe that if everyone on this board suddenly decided that you were SAKU (Source of All Knowledge in the Universe) you would sign on under yet another name and your next post would start with "Yeah but....".

Well, being of PA origin I feel that I can comment here.

If this works out well you all will have some nice as heck bucks in a few years. My only concern would be the "Shoot First Count Later" slobs. If it doesn't add up to the standard, it lays...

Your constitutional question was ridiculous. ALthough it could be argued that a seperate license (tripled recently) ought to entitle those who paid for it to a seperate season.

Arguing the constitution with you would be ridiculous. IF you've ever even seen it your history here shows that you would merely take part of it out of context to attempt to make your point of the moment. Since it makes no specific reference to hunting of any kind, what's your point?

Lochorns, why aren't these new regs applicable to your private land. Are you saying you set your own rules and regulations. I'd turn you in in a minute.

Welcome aboard 257!!!

Someone beat me to my question! I was about to ask if one of our participants on this board was implying that game laws did not apply to private land. Correct me if I am mistaken, I am, afterall, a right wing, ultra-conservative. I am not a life member of the UBP, though.
BT, how much does that cost? Could you get me an application?

BC,
Life membership to the UBP is $250. I got apps! I'll check into the lifetime dues for the vast right wing conspiracy!
