Nothing attracts kids to a new activity like frustration and failure.
We didn't get any special treatment or youth seasons when I was a kid. You could go out and hunt like a man in the grown up season or stay the fugg home and play with the kiddie toys. For god sakes no wonder there's so many spoiled little snow flake pansies these days.
When you were a kid, farmers didn't plow all the way to the fence, millionaires didn't lease all the best hunting land, and kiddie toys were a tire and a stick.
We also had to work cutting firewood, throwing hay bales and running trap lines to earn the money for our own guns and shells. We didn't have to be coaxed and coddled into going hunting, we had to work for it. We certainly wouldn't want the little darlins to have to work for anything today.
You must be a real bad ass. Would you have done that stuff if you didn't have access to birds to hunt?
If you would have, you're an idiot. Normal people don't bust their ass for zero reward.
We didn't do much pheasant hunting. Mostly rabbits, squirrels and grouse, which are still plenty accessible but probably just too tough for you and todays pansy ass kids. The little darlins can't even walk more than a block to school. Certainly busting brush for rabbits would be too much to expect.
