Like I said give the western part of the state to Tn, they already have a youth day.Most comments actually favored youth turkey week iirc
Judging by comments here opposition/support seems to be split east/west.

Sorry, keep forgetting that.
I don't think lot of people realize how slim the deer are in west and the shorter gun season, it would benefit a Kid to get a day or 2 to themselves there are lot of western NC deer hunters that go many days without seeing a deer give the kids a shot without the pressure I would rather see them get one than me any day
Then why not just take your youth on opening day? What's the difference?
Opening day is a school day.....
All the eastern seasons start on a Saturday. Just push to have your season open on Saturday and take all the youth you want.

Nope, but I have heard of CRC the pot stirrer.Sounds good.
Ever heard of the State of Franklin?

Ban dog hunting.
Open deer hunting the normal time, with any legal weapon, and close it the normal time or at least give us some cold weather hunting in Jan or Feb.
There we go......
I bear hunted for years but never killed but two. Never liked the taste of them so I wouldn't shoot them. I walked/crawled many a young hunter in to their first kill though.I would never support outlawing dog hunting for bear, I'm not much of a bear hunter, I wouldn't walk across my driveway to shoot a bear, those guys really love their dog hunting. I do however think the bear season vs firearms deer season is one sided, it seems the bear hunting takes priority over deer hunters, that bothers me, and alot of other folks. We don't want to take anything from them, but we are getting the best deer hunting times taken from us for bear hunting.It really sux. Wish they would leave deer season open until jan. 1. at least for ML.

The reason the bear hunters have a one sided advantage over some of the other hunters is there is strength in numbers. They stick together like glue. They have quite a bit of clout in Raleigh and when it comes time they fall in with the coon hunters and the squirrel (dog) hunters. They helped us to get the squirrel season extended when the Camo Coalition fought us tooth and nail. Deer hunters fight among themselves too much and finger point.
I may not agree with some of their stances but they helped us so you know where my allegiance will be unless they come up with something outlandish like the bowhunting association has before. I am not blind and I do stand on my own two feet, if they go crazy I'll not back them on something stupid.
That is the way I look at it and I fear it would go.My thoughts exactly, I am a coon hunter, I don't like shooting them either, but love to here my walker track and tree coons, I have bear hunted alot in my life too, and you are exactly correct, the bear hunters have strength in numbers. I would never support a dog hunting ban, if bear hunting with dogs could be stopped, so could coon hunting, squirell hunting, and bird hunting too.
The committee discussed a youth deer hunting day. The
committee recommends the fourth Saturday in September for youth to hunt deer with any weapon.
Adults may hunt only with bow and arrow on that day
