[QUOTE="Allen, post: 180332, member: 389"] I don't worry about this as much as some of the rest around here. Truth is, when I started to hunt deer with a rifle in the early 80s, not everyone (including us young'uns) drew tags. And here I am, some 37 years later...still looking forward to deer season. If you're going to lose that young'un to video games, etc. You will lose him anyway because he (or she) doesn't have the "want" necessary to be a hunter. A guy I once worked for was convinced that hunting and fishing is something genetically coded into each of us that stick with the sport after being introduced to it. Or, in my case, I found it DESPITE growing up in a household where my stepfather didn't hunt or fish but maybe once a year. Yep, hunting and fishing found me anyway. Or vice versa, depending on how you want to look at it. On a side note, as a hunter and angler, I am thrilled to say I got to take my oldest out deer hunting this year for the first time where he was the shooter. It was an awesome, once-in-a-lifetime experience. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Having done this for several years, let me just say that the reason WT tags are so readily available in those units is that about 95% of the WT are on private land. You will have plenty of land to walk, but will see muley after muley and you had best damn well be prepared to shoot the first WT buck you see on public land because it may very well be the only one you see in a full week of hunting. Been there, done that! [/QUOTE]
