Thanks for making my point. Yeah. If you were of hunting age when lifetimes were available, YOU HUNTED BUCK DEER IN THE UNIT(there weren't units) of your choice.
Yup 44. Not 90. I forgot how we hunted open bull on the Manti also, no draw.
I let my boy read this thread. He'd be glad to trade youth waterfowl day for the ability to ride his bike to hunt ducks/pheasants/doves with a shotgun on his back. Be happy to hunt deer in camp on weekend on the Manti, then come home and hunt deer in n Utah during the week.
But this is Utah. Where we talk a good game about family, then tell kids to go to Arizona or New Mexico where they treat them better. Place where a kid wanting to hunt a deer is greedy, but we hand out 500 tags for auction every year.
I think the OP applied poorly, could have helped his kid doing different, but NO KID should strike out on a deer tag 3 years in a row. You didn't as a kid, not did I.
