I attended the regularly scheduled NRC meeting today. The following was seperated from the overall deer rules:
(b) The special youth deer season is two (2) consecutive days beginning on the Saturday
immediately before October 1 or as approved annually by the director.
(1) The seasonal limit for hunting deer under this subsection is one (1) deer of either sex.
(2) A youth hunter who takes an antlered deer under this subsection may not take another
antlered deer during the archery seasons established in subsection (c), the firearm season
established in subsection (e), or the muzzleloader season established in subsection (f).
(3)As used in this section, "youth" means an individual who is less than eighteen (18) years
of age by the date of the hunt.
(4) A youth who hunts a deer under this subsection must be accompanied by an adult of at
least eighteen (18) years of age who:
(A) does not possess a firearm, bow and arrow, or crossbow while in the field;
(B) possesses a valid hunting license of any type that is not an apprentice license;
(C) must not accompany more than two (2) youth hunters at any one time; and
(D) must be in close proximity and able to communicate with the youth hunter at all
times.

One person pointed out that they thought adding the buck to the youth season was a "substantive" change to the rule and the rules package as a whole would be jepordized if this remained in the rules package. So they set it aside and it will proceed through the rules process as it's own rule. I'm still on the fence as I don't think it is as substantive change but I can see where someone else would. Neverthelss when this gets posted if you want a youth season buck you'd better be commenting on it.
