Book, this post kinda nullifies your line of reasoning in the rest of your post and the philosophies of your group:
but so far only one small doe killed by a kid on the place this year, kids don't want to hunt, rather stay home and play video games I recon...
I think that the whole Outdoor Experience that is commonplace in today's World is too 'slow' for today's Youth.
There is no small-game hunting for fear of 'spooking' the deer.
There are no exciting dog-drives that leave the youth exhilirated.
The 'sit and wait' and seeing NO deer approach is just not conducive to keeping the attention of youth.
Not to mention, be still, be quiet, take a 'scent'free' shower, gotta get there early, gotta sit here late, gotta sit here all day......etc. does NOT sit well with most of taday's youth.
PLUS: I have not heard anybody say they wanted to restrict kids to shooting 100"+ deer. Matter of fact, I haven't seen evidence of wanting to restrict ANYBODY like that.
It IS a problem. But, I think that your blame may be a little misplaced.
