The hunt was a 2022 Draw Hunt.
So this past year we were drawn for a bow hunt on a 2K acre WMA, I won't name the place or the any of the parks rangers, but we had a great time even though we were not successful.
That being said it was a bow hunt and there were only two parties drawn, which ended up being 2 persons per parting. In my case it was my wife and myself. Anyway this same WMA also host a kids rifle hunt later in the season, with I think 20 permits. I asked the ranger why only 2 bow permits issued for 2K acres of property and he gave me some wildlife management answer that I really do not remember, nor did it make any sense to me.
The property had plenty of cover from border to border.
Also the ranger said he had been feeding at 3 ea. locations and we could hunt them if we could find them, but he would not tell us where they are.
The hunt was by assigned blind, but you could pic the blind if you and the other group of 2 ea was ok with it. The other group was two guys and they were easy going and no issues there.
So, from a hunters perspective why would the hunts be arranged as such.
Advantage to the kids?
