Does your state include seniors on youth day?

[Maverick1]

No senior preference.

What age is considered a senior when it comes to hunting? I am new to hunting and just turned 56.

70 in Massachusetts, you got a way to go!

Not legally, but you sure she a lot of this every year on youth weekend:

“Really proud of my 6 year old. Went out with his PawPaw and bagged this 18” wide 8 point at 275 yds with ‘his’ 300 Ultra Mag.”

Kid in the picture, noticeably distracted with a GameBoy in one hand and a bag of Skittles in the other. PawPaw long-arming the deer and grinning from ear to ear.

Always a head scratcher

Montana should do this

I would feel like I was buying beer with food stamps. I can't believe they haven't passed that rule yet actually.

Its hard to believe they overlooked the concept.
I'm thinking muzzleloader elk rut hunt for seniors only....okay maybe make it a lottery. The 100 yard archery influencers would fume.

It sounds like they read HT so best to get those good ideas out there.

The most boomer thing ever - thinking you should be entitled to what a child has.

Not entitled...just another crazy program idea FWP could add to the list.

This doesn't hold a candle to the bonus point system that we have in MT.

How?

 

[MTTW]

The squared bonus point system steals the entire future of LE permit hunting from children and newcomers with a 400 to 500 point advantage for oldsters. Wishing to be allowed to compete with 10- to 12-year-olds for 2 days pales in comparison. For the record, both are lowlife shit in my mind.

Here in West Virginia, youth season is antlerless only. Seniors can also hunt the youth season. Youth season is one weekend (pre rut)a few weeks before gun season and about three days towards the end of the year.

Currently, WV has a proposal to allow bucks to be killed during youth, but according to our state code this will allow seniors to do so as well.

Does your state allow seniors in youth day? Does your state allow seniors an early attempt to kill bucks with a rifle?

Texas does not but I sure I like the idea.

Kentucky has a weekend youth rifle season in October (Buck or doe) and a weekend late youth season (Buck or doe) in December. No special season for seniors but they can buy a senior license at a discount price.
