This Saturday and Sunday, October 30-31, is the Texas Special Youth rifle season that kicks off the 2010-2011 rifle season for deer here in Texas. I have a problem with parents that have to have a special season in order for them to take their kids hunting. My kids and others in my family were always included in the season whenever they wanted to go hunting. That being said if you have a child that has an interest in hunting you should have them out there this weekend. Make sure you have given them good safety training and a chance to practice with the rifle they will be shooting. Remember that many counties in Texas have Antler restrictions that you will be responsible for knowing and making sure your children abide by those restrictions. Keep it safe, but above all, make sure your kids have fun. After all that is why we are there in the first place, Wild Ed
