Youth Hunt 2016: Whats Your Opinion?

[Lake Chuck Duck]

The current proposed dates that will be voted on have the new extended Speck season opening on the same weekend as the youth hunt. My organization sponsors a youth hunt raffle at a local lodge that we have been doing for years with great success for some lucky youth. We are being told with speck season being open our youth hunt will be canceled if they can put paying adults in the blinds.

I am curious how the public feels about this, and generally on the premise that extending the speck season is less pressure than making a 3 bird limit with same dates.

I ask that if you feel the youth hunt should not be infringed across the state that you contact your LDWF Commissioner or Larry Reynolds with LDWF and plead that they vote against or change the dates.

I mean how can it be called a youth hunt if you got pops right on the side of his son just blasting away?
