The following e-mail was received by WDFW Director Jeff Koenings From: Clarence C. Lupo To: director@dfw.wa.gov Date: Thu, Feb 21, 2002 4:29 PM Subject: Youth permit drawing Greetings, I know that you get a lot of mail criticizing the management of game and the game seasons here in Washington State. I would like, however, to acknowledge something I think you're doing right on the mark. My two kids both shot their deer within two minutes of each other by taking turns with the same gun. Not bad for a 13 and 12 year old. My daughter is left-handed and had to shoot my right-handed gun. Now that they are hooked, we are going after bucks next yhear. Thanks for giving my kids a much deserved break by having the youth permit drawnings. P.S. Since they both have their own guns now, I'm not sharing any more...while they both shot deer with my gun, I got skunked!
