Good luck to all of you taking a youth out this weekend. Wishing you a safe and successful hunt. This will be the last youth hunt for one of my grandsons, he turns 18 in a few months. Post up some pics of your hunt this weekend.

So youth only get two days to hunt. 1 weekend and hunters only get two weekends to put in stands / blinds on public. One of those weekends is on the single weekend of the youth hunt. I really wish they would change that either give youth a week to hunt…… or change when to put blinds and stands on public.

It’s my understanding youth season is around to give kids the best chance possible to harvest a deer to keep them interested and keep the traditions alive. Seems counter productive to have armies of squeaky deer carts hauling in stands during the same time….

Looking forward to those 'grins' gents.

My son turned 18 on Tuesday and my 12 yr old daughter wants to hang out with us on youth weekend to get a squirrel!!!! Lol I honestly have two questions
Can my son go and sit by himself or is he out because of age?
The way I read it I need to get my 12 yr old daughter a license right?

Thanks for any help on clarifying!

Just wait for the free youth hunting weekend. If she just wants to get a single squirrel. Otherwise you’d have to get her an apprentice license.

Pretty sure 18 is a no go but I’m not a lawyer and you need a low degree to make sense of some of the regs

Let junior pull the trigger on a 4.5yr old mule headed doe. Just got in from deboning and putting in fridge.

He did good, passed on a spike, holding out for a tad bigger he says.

I went out this morning with my oldest nephew and his buddy. Seen 10 , mostly doe and a button buck . My youngest nephew sat with his dad , they seen 11 , 9 doe and 2 button bucks. No shots this morning , hoping for horns. The same groupings went out tonight . My group seen one doe and the other guys connected on 9 point !

I was pleasantly surprised with number of deer we seen, considering the EHD in our area . Hoping to to get another one down tomorrow .
