Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Pardon my ignorance, but I am not a hunter. First, I would have thought that the stand would be much higher off the ground. Second, what is youth deer season? Is there a separate season specially for taking your kids hunting?

This one is not very high because the longest shot is only about 60 yards. If I went really high, I’d have to shoot nearly straight down or at a very steep angle. The one deeper on my property is 10’ off the ground but I can shoot potentially out to 200 yards.

Some states have youth hunts but not all. In Michigan, they have two days to go out ahead of the regular hunting seasons starting. The number of hunters has been declining for years so the state does it to try to get kids interested in the sport. They have to be supervised by an adult so it’s not just sending kids into the woods with firearms. Supposed to be mid-80’s here this weekend so I don’t have my hopes set too high. However, God is in control and He can make anything happen!
