i killed my first ever deer during a youth hunt. it was an awesome experience and i have been hooked ever since. i always wanted to deer hunt but never had anyone/anywhere to go so a friend of mines dad took me out when i was about 12.. i dont have anything against youth hunts, i think they are great. gives kids a little advantage having the woods all to themselves without having to worry about other yahoos i have already started counting down the days till i can take my daughter out on her first hunt even though she is only a week old right now! i personally have shared many great memories with the guys that taught me everything i know and to think i could have possibly missed out on it all if i hadnt had the oppertunity to get out there when i did. cant wait to share all of my knowledge with my daughter and future children.
I undrestood the point you were trying to make.......
