@Flatbrimmer - Serious question. Why shouldn’t kids be included in the sacrifices made for the good of the resource? Seems like a valuable life lesson to teach that lack of responsible choices on the part of adults translates to loss of privilege for the next generation.
The youth hunt and separate regulations for youth hunters is a relatively new expansion that is only @ ten years old. Historically, there was no privileged regulation for youth hunters.
In retaining the ability of youth hunters to enjoy expanded opportunities over adult hunters for the two day youth season we are intentionally lessening the impact on youth in this proposal. In my opinion, the health of mule deer as a resource can’t sustain a privileged youth regulation for the entire season.
