I overheard a conversation the other day that ticked me off. How lucky I was to be invited into the discussion as Joe Bob and Bucksaw had no idea what they were in for.

The topic of this column, is the Youth Firearms Hunt, and the hunt took place on Columbus Day weekend, from Oct. 11-13. Being that the hunt took place smack-dab in the middle of bow season, there are different opinions on the subject. Those that choose to participate as a mentor need to do a few things to be legal. There is much opportunity for a child to harvest his or her first deer on this special weekend. For this reason, I recommend going the extra yard to help a kid become a successful deer hunter.
