Quick note on youth deer hunt

As far as youngsters getting into the great outdoors Sept. 20-22 and shooting bucks during Michigan's youth deer hunt, sorry, not for it, not in the least.

Does, sure, have at it.

Just doesn't seem fair for everyone else and there's no tellin' for sure who's pulling the trigger in the blind, Dad, or Johnny Boy.

Learn like we did. Get good on small game and then one day you young kids will get your chance. Or again, like us, wait until the regular seasons -- Oct. 1, Nov. 15 and Dec. 5.

So anybody on Facebook -- one site in particular, which I will leave nameless -- who shows the upcoming youth of the fruited plain holding up a nice rack he or she took during that early season will NOT get a "like" from me or an "atta-boy."

It's funny, the administrator of this nameless site even said to the effect that any negative comments regarding the youth deer season on his pages would not be tolerated and would be removed.

Well, on this site, the word is "phooey" on kids taking bucks during the youth deer hunt.

So there.
