I don't think points will be moved from one category to another with this new system. The current points people have now will be placed into all the categories. So someone with 12 points now will have 12 points in all categories, including youth and senior. But in your scenario of when someone turns 65 and is then a "senior," no I don't think points from other categories would be moved over to the senior category.

Interesting question about the points carrying over.  Seems like moose points would be moose points, just that you can't apply for the youth hunts after you are 16.
Pathfinder JR has one point this year.  We'll see what happens.

I'm probably an *censored* for feeling this way, but I don't see why youth should even get any moose permits. :dunno:  There are so few moose permits, why even provide any to youth?  If there were no youth moose permits, they would still have 50+ years to apply and have a chance at drawing sometime like everybody else.  Let the youth get some cow elk and doe permits, and leave the moose out of it.............

Why would the youth not get a fair shake at the moose. my son hunts every bit as hard as the next guy in fact they should get a few more good tags for them and give the antlerless tags to people who want them.

I agree with Curly. I think the kids should have to apply for the same moose tags as everybody else. They would still have a "fair shake." Just not special treatment over everybody else. But you can be sure I'll be putting my kids in for those youth moose permits as soon as they are old enough to take a hunter education class.

I have no problem with them only being able to draw the same as anyone else, but Curly said he does not believe they should be able to draw any tags at all.  My son is 11 years old and only puts in for the bull tags any way.

I like that idea; it's the fountain of youth.  I can be a 12 year old Master Hunter, and also get a discount at Denny's for being a Senior!  I just knew there had to be something about this plan I'd like... :IBCOOL:

I think he means he doesn't think there should be any specifically allocated as youth permits. There's no way the WDFW would not allow people under a certain age to apply for the regular moose permits. Anybody who's got a WILD ID number can apply. I would rather see them designated for seniors. They're the ones with less time left in their lives to draw a moose permit. But, there's only a few so it's not a real big deal. I'm sure the WDFW does it that way to sell more applications.

I agree with you Bobcat they should try to give the seniors some sort of advantage if they have a few points.

Do your youth points roll over to normal points once your not a youth anymore?
yes they do! Also the youth tags are cow only If you want to put in for all antlerless permit hunts I bet you would get drawn 2 or 3 times but most guys want a bull tag or nothing.

Sorry you took it that way, that is not what I meant.  Bobcat is right about what I was saying.......they should just be put in the same pool as everyone else. 

I feel bad just for even thinking that youth should not have a separate category for moose, since they are the future of hunting........but I just think that there are so few moose permits available that it doesn't make a lot of sense to have a separate category for moose.

There aren't that many antlerless moose permits and they aren't that easy to draw. I've put in for them and I have 14 points and haven't drawn one yet. (you do lose your points if you draw an antlerless moose permit, so the chance of drawing more than once isn't good)

Bob-
I feel a moose tag coming your way  in your near future.

 :tup:
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
