SF 2055 Youth Crossbow Tag

[TeenageHunter]

I think it might be a good idea. Even though I'll never be able to use it. It's still a great idea for other youth! I wish I had the chance to use a crossbow. I would have been hunting a lot earlier. I like crossbows because they're more effective than a shotgun or bow IMO for a little kid. Personally, I think a shotgun was awkward when I was little, even youth ones. But I shot a crossbow a few times and loved it, but was sad that I'd never be able to use it hunting unless I had a limb cut off or something.

EDIT: I was re-reading the posts and it seems that you guys are kind of right. I know a kid who was a hunter and broke his arm and wasn't able to bend all the way and can't shoot a bow correctly. These are the youth who should be able to use a crossbow.

Opinions can go either way.

Loneranger I totally agree. Especially the jelousy. I think alot of new laws or regulations are made for the dnr to be able to sell more tags but the majority of opinions from this (as i read between the lines)are hunters wanting less people (even kids) to get tags. Are we selfish enough to try to keep kids from deer hunting. Or its ok for kids to hunt if they do it by this or that standard according to someones opinon? Its ok for kids to hunt if they use traditional bows? Come on! Its our job as parents to introduce our kids to hunting as we see fit. Not by your standards or opinions. Kids are made by god in every size. Ive seen kids ready before the age of 10 and ive seen some not at 14. I have both. If a kid is mature in mind but cant pull a bow this might be a great thing.
