Good luck to all the youth hunters!

Headed out tomorrow for my last youth hunt with my youngest son. A lot of memories have been made over the years with my two sons, I am sad this chapter is coming to an end. For all of you thinking about heading out with your kids, DO IT, it goes by fast!

I have an 11-year-old nephew, and I'm trying to get him into hunting, but his parents are religious freaks, plus he's a very small kid, last year my brother did bring him out for a day of hunting, and I let him fire the peashooter 28 but it didn't fit him.

Nothing wrong with religious parents.

We went out Saturday. Had a couple chances but no birds down. The weather was good, the dogs did great, but the roosters were running and flushing like it was late season! A lot of crops were still standing and the rains this year have really thickened up the cover.

Seems like every youth season, I see adults trying to hunt.

We only saw one other group with 2 kids out yesterday, but I definitely see adults on the youth turkey hunt every year

I should clarify, I see adults with kids and the adults are also carrying guns. They think that since it is youth season they get to hunt along with the kids.

We have a bunch of early youth hunts here in MN (deer and waterfowl). Adults that accompany the youths are absolutely not permitted to partake in the hunt. The regs are very clear about that. They can only "supervise."

Technically an adult that is participating and shooting during a youth hunt is poaching. I'd turn em in.
