[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 502120, member: 1485"] We hunted a spot that has been a go-to for deer for over 25 years. We'd bumped into a couple groups during youth opener, so I wasn't that surprised to see a truck there when we pulled up. But the realization hit me after my son got his first doe and we made our way back home. Every group we passed -- almost to a T -- had youth hunters. And unless I'm mis remembering, they were the only ones in their parties with guns. It's literally Lord of the Flies these days. I know I didn't have a tag except for archery, so I was there to help my boy. And the two young fellers across the way I saw doing a deer drive both couldn't have been older than 16. And the group in the heated blind had a young boy walking out with what looked to be a mom and dad. And the black truck at the trail head must have been a mom and dad and two kids. I guess I like that everyone is taking the opportunity to hunt with those who can actually get tags. But what an odd circumstance. I did jokingly tell my son to enjoy the next few years before he's lumped in the lottery with the rest of us chumps and has to wait until he's in his 20s to rifle hunt again. [/QUOTE]
