We've been told over the last few years that the youth days has recruited so many more hunters. These youth days have been going on long enough that those hunters would be buying licenses by now. Where are they? [/quote]
This would happen if we as hunters were recruiting new hunters. I never see many folks(including myself) taking kids from the neighborhood out hunting. I carry my son all the time but never any of his buddies. That is on me not the state. Personally I would be fine if in addition to the early youth season they restricted the last two weekends in December as youth only. Let the kids hunt while they are out of school for Christmas.
