I've hunted the youth deer season over the past 5 years with my own kids friends kids. The one week season is dumb, especially in the middle of September, but it is what it is. Hunting deer when it's 85 degrees out is ridiculous. You have a better chance of catching West Nile and a sunburn than anything.

I don't agree with this assessment at all, seems like a person that is pissed because they can't just get a tag every year. Our opportunity in ND isn't all that bad. The youth season gives kids a a chance to dip there toe with out being left in the dust by the adults during a season dedicated for just that. They get to have a few opportunities to build up to the buck tag and actually have a chance to experience some success in a controlled low pressure situation. My daughter was lights out on here first two does and then went 0 for 5 before getting her buck on the last Saturday of regular season. I think she hunted like 14 or 15 days when she had here youth buck tag and there were some dam cold mornings sitting on the hilltop. The following year, she knew here chances were slim in pulling a buck tag but I gave her the choice and she chose to put in for it versus trying to pull an almost guaranteed doe tag in the lotto. Lots of life lessons learned over those 3-4 years and with me not hunting at the same time, my focus was 100% on her just as it has been with the other kids I have taken out. every kid I've take all know that after their buck tag, it's into the real world with the rest of us.

KDM, riddle me this, if your not going to let the youth have a license to hunt and want them to join the lotto out of the gate, and they go several years with out a tag, how do you plan to teach them accountability, understanding, and responsibility? because they won't be in the field to do so........

Also whoever said the youth tags haven't been around that long must be like 80 years old. although it was different, I bet the program has been around for 30-40 years. Hell I remember getting a youth tag and that was 30 years ago!
