[QUOTE="Dirty, post: 345839, member: 6535"] I’m glad they have youth seasons and I’m glad they are set aside at a time when there aren’t too many other folks in the woods. I have never come across a kid bitching about any aspect of the youth season…only hear some parents complain…or more so adults with no kids. That just tells me where the interests of those adults truly lie…and I’m sad that they are potentially misusing the opportunity. Just because the youth season is over, it doesn’t mean your kids can’t be out hunting with you and they don’t need a weapon or a tag for that either, but life is busy for a 11-15 year old and it’s busy for adults with children. As much as my kids love to hunt, they have many other interests as well. I don’t know if they could give up many more than the handful of days each year that they are hunting with me…part of that is my schedule and part of it is theirs. It’s a balancing act all 12 months of the year…more so in the fall than at any other time. When our plate is full, we figure out what we can and can’t sacrifice a little bit. Get your kids out hunting with you if and when you can and then support them in everything else when you can’t. Hunting, like life, is about success, failure, opportunity, and lack of opportunity, the cycle of life, nature, balance, escape from the rat race, time with family, time for sharing stories, teaching and learning lessons, counting your blessings and it’s a great time to show your kid how important you value your time with them. Don’t look for what could be and should be, just be damn glad you have the time with them you do have and make the most of it. Don’t use it as a time or a reason to complain, that’s my advice. Throughout the entire 10 day youth season this year, I have two evenings to get my 11 year out with her first doe tag. I have 4 days I will be coaching one daughter in basketball and 4 more I will be coaching two of the other daughters in soccer. I have 6 days of work and they have 6 of school. Not a single one of us will be upset by the end of the youth season regardless of the results, and aside from me having to work 6 days, I wouldn’t change a thing because I love watching and being a part of them doing a lot more than just hunting.
