Bubba if it bugs ya that much why not just read and move on? This is what this site is all about...What goes on in peoples lives in the woods everyday!!! Kinda makes you sound like the d!ck.

http://themeateater.com/2012/take-a-kid-huntingor-better-yet-take-a-parent/ Interesting article and a real compelling argument. To sum it up, the effectiveness of youth hunts is that for kids with parents who don't hunt, their interest will eventually disappear because the parents won't consistently take them out into the field and kids with parents who are already passionate was going to introduce their kids to hunting with or without a youth hunt anyway. But if a newbie parents are hooked, then their kids will very likely get hooked as well so it's twice the impact.

Sounds like a great opportunity for this forum to initiate something. Could be as simple as mentors available w/hunting privileges. Could even be mentoring on the beginner's property or a place he/she has rights to hunt. All the right key words and a web search would be directed here. Maybe a member that has influence at the NY Outdoor News (Buckstopshere?) could write an article. I went through this a couple of years ago when I wanted to mentor a youth or young beginner. Found a huge "black hole" between those wishing to mentor and individuals wanting to learn. Nothing to connect the two!! I have no connections to hunting organizations, the DEC or any outdoor publications. Just willing to pass-on my hunting experiences and offer my services on a mentor available list. See a lot of this mentoring on TV in other states. Who organizes these hunts &/or connections? The outfitters, Wildlife agencies, Conservation groups, ......who?

Welcome to the site. And after reading all the rules I've determined those VT officials sure are a funny lot! Do they really think........... "It is illegal to import or possess legally taken deer or elk, or parts of deer or elk, from states and Canadian provinces that have had Chronic Wasting Disease, or from captive hunt or farm facilities with the following exceptions: "Upper canine teeth with no tissue attached" LOL if deer start growing these I give up and hunt ducks!

i think most of us if we had ours homes busted by the feds would be considered wacko gun nuts with the usual headline which reads,"HUGE CACHE of WEAPONS and AMMO DISCOVERED", bla, bla, bla. they consider you a nut if you own more than one ole squirrel gun or more than a 20 round box of ammo.....

Fertilizer for one of your food plots? Back to Nature.

Id say he would score in the high 120's!!
