6ANut

and this is why I mainly stick with saying " Congrats on a great animal and Thanks for sharing." on so many of my posts. All over kids. I like this little study since most of you seem to just be saying your opinions. http://1source.basspro.com/index.php/component/k2/239-hunting-info/2626-5-stages-of-a-hunter-which-one-are-you-blog

Hey 6Anut since no one can figure out what unit we hunt I say when our little ones get old enough to youth hunt- HUNT Party at your family's CABIN! I'll bring the Disney JR haha Paw Patrol for sure these days and yeah I cant wait to get her in the field and let's party.

But back to the kids, What hunt do you want them to have, a hunt where they see almost no deer at all and the success rate is 20% at best?? That's not doing much for are future hunters IMO, I would have no problem if for one year all they allowed to hunt in 6A was kids. So you are saying the retention of future hunters is based off of success? I do not buy that at all and from what I have researched there is no evidence to prove that it does. There are enough Small game and Big game opportunities to hook, grow and retain future hunters without the youth Hunts for Deer and Elk. Part of the learning curve of any angling or hunting is the lesson in humility and understanding that there are no guarantees. Youth hunts are the equivalency of Giving all Kids who participate in a sport a trophy just so they stay interested, IMO, and that IMO is a bad habit. How many hunters do you talk to that say they got hooked on hunting because they were unsuccessful- Its rhetorical so don't tell me you know A LOT I say let the kids have some TROPHY'S, I can't even tag out on spikes most of the time so it wont effect my success. No they MAY not appreciate it as much as an adult who has been after the same trophy spending 1000's of dollars and years in the field but who cares. Its the adults who are doing the majority of the work anyway- packing, driving, spending $$$, glassing, packing out etc. I would LOVE to see and PAY $$$ to see my kid tag a big animal. I LOVE seeing kids tag ANYTHING. THIS

Sure they do but that's nothing compared to a rut hunt. To each their own just hard for me to gripe about a kid hunt Id rather complain about all the other hunts they have added or increased the tags on.

Come on now you act like I have not seen the same thing In My Own Back Yard??? Let's not talk about what G and F has done to my unit, 6A look at the amount of hunters they let in every year its crazy. I have seen the quality of elk in the past 20 years decline year over year. I completely agree rut tags should be rotated through all the units in regards to deer. But back to the kids, What hunt do you want them to have, a hunt where they see almost no deer at all and the success rate is 20% at best?? That's not doing much for are future hunters IMO, I would have no problem if for one year all they allowed to hunt in 6A was kids.

Hard for me to ever complain about any youth hunt, in any unit, at any time of the year. Kids are the future when it comes to hunting.

Wow what a write up, congrats on a great adventure.

Id rather die than tell any of you what unit I hunt in.

Wow,awesome mounts

Way to go Mike, congrats and let your over the I-17 freeway, neighbor know when your cooking some buffalo.

Nick is the man he has done at least three for me I think

Yesterday, for the first time ever I walked back to the truck, I actually saw two trees get blown over. Pretty scary.

Free Bump for a great gun

Looks like the herd that travels across the 89A from 6B into the Forest Highlands golf course?

Best story of the year on this site, Congrats on an true trophy animal.

Awesome congrats thanks for sharing

Will someone other than me let Casey know that having 2 kickers, 2 defenses and 3 QB's on your fantasy football team is never the winning way.

My buddy just connected yesterday on a 5x5 in 5BN. Very slow, not very responsive to calls. Most of the people I knew hunting in 6a tagged out early on smaller bulls.

Awesome work, love hearing stories of people hunting HARD. Congrats on your bull.

All over Munds park, back in the day when no one was up here during the winters we used to have a coon killing contest in the PARK........ My dad never was one for rules, quite odd because he is a lawyer.

Great looking goat congrats.
