I'm starting to think with my corn and beans I should be hunting Muzzy season. To date I have never really put much effort into Muzzy but with an enclosed stand it might be worthwhile. I’ve been considering that myself. Pick up a bow. Skip gun season. Hunt over a giant turnip/rutabaga plot with a muzzy. I'll hunt rifle but If I don't get a shot at a nice buck I'll hunt Muzzy. I might save my days off for Muzzy, maybe. I have to think about weather and opportunities.

I have several friends who prefer it over rifle season. Our black powder season in NH is early. The first week in November. It’s the week before our rifle season. We have a lot of Vermonters that hunt here because it’s different from the end of December season that Vermont has.

My money says that’s your bet if can grow good like you did this year. Cold in the kooch warms the barrel.

My friends nephew shot a deer this weekend. He is 16 and has hunted for a handful of years during rifle season already and has shot deer previous to this. This "recruitment" program is a sham. As many of us know and agree. Make the program available to kids that have not hunted deer or are under 14 and I might feel a little more supportive.

As a school teacher I got to see the excitement of numerous students ready to go for the MEA weekend. That at least makes it worth it to me?

I know what my daughter just asked me to send to her teacher for tomorrow. A picture of her deer from Friday night! Of course she is 10 and most of you are supportive of that. But she sure as hell is excited to share her picture of her deer tomorrow. And I was just as excited to send it.

hell yes. Perfect candidate for a youth hunt DD! And she did it with a crossbow..... That adds another level of HELL YEAH!
A 16 year old thats hunted for 4 or 5 years and has already shot deer.... ehhhh..... Not so much of a "special hunt" candidate.

The DNR is probably doing all they can to keep people on the triggers with about any gimmick. I just think in this case it won't help the harvest at all. I see it as mistake, from a harvest perspective, to get the deer spooky before the entire army takes to the woods. Too many kids these days are two notches below functional for their age, so anything that keeps the excitement up for good kids already in the sport seems like a good idea to me. Will it retard the magic of opening morning gun season? I think so. But that isn't when the best sits happen anyway. Those sits happen in October when you've got the entire forest to yourself. Get a bow. I wish I'd hunted from opening weekend of archery. But bear season ate up my extra vacation time. Too many of those brats are already mental disney kids that are going to be making policy in the future. We need to have one of us in every social circle to keep educating the "educated." I've got my hands full with a couple in the office and the kickball team.

I’d shit my pants if Minnesota came out and said they would have some kind of special youth archery hunt?
Maybe open up some State Parks? Refuges?

I spent three days volunteering at the Camp Ripley Youth Archery Hunt. We need more kids to participate. This also included adjacent Nature Conservancy lands. We supplied 4 free meals, a facility to sleep in at very low cost, and there was help to find stand locations and to help with field dressing and tracking.
