Son drew Mt. Spokane south youth moose, for the second time.

Don't tell anyone that you've drawn two moose tags. There are a few people that don't like that. Good luck on the tag

Who cares about those people!!! Usually they have bad attitudes because they don't kill an animal every year...(mostly due to lazyness and internet hero stuff...)   Good for the young man! Take advantage of this opportunity!  And for the haters.......let'em hate!! hahahaha

The system is a draw.  Just like a lottery or lightning strikes.  Some people get lucky.  Some people get lucky twice.  Some people don't.

Yes, it is a draw, but how hard would it be to say only one youth tag for moose in your life.  Youth tags are about opportunity, not somebody that has extreme luck at pulling tags.  Like I said in my post nothing against the tag holder, but the system seems messed up.

I gotcha there.   

Wow I will probably never draw a tag. We need to get rid of these youth tags it's ridicous. What a slap in the face your son draws moose two outta three years good for him but give me a break this is outta control. This is seriously bs.

  feel better now?  Why do we need to get rid of youth tags?

Greed shows its face once again. Its the system we all play and it is very fair! Congrats to your son!

The only thing in this world that is fair is math. Am I the only one who thinks it messed up to have so many youth tags that some youths draw a moose tag 2 outta 3 years

I see your frustration, but this kid pulled of a one in a million chance.  Likely to never happen again to another young hunter or adult for that matter.

Just like guys who pull a quality bull tag with say 15 points then draw the same tag the next year with one. 

He got really really lucky.   Imagine just for a second that you were in this young mans shoes. Would you feel the same way?

How many youth tags do you think there are?

[WAPatriot]

18 with about 1600 total youth applying assuming 3 options including people who ghost points. Way too many Id be ok with one youth tag 18 is way too many

[WAPatriot]

Last yr 15 anterless tags to vast majority and about 5600 applicant 18 youth tags for 1600 applicants and I bet a good percentage of those youth applicants are ghost points cause kids still in diapers. Also lets not forget those same 1600 kids are included in the regular draw as well.

[BULLBLASTER]

More anterless moose tags go to minority groups than to the vast majority. It's wrong plain and simple.

youth are the future of this lifestyle. Heck id be just fine with all antlerless moose tags being for youth...  i like to see kids get excited about hunting and being successful!. Id rather help a kid with a cow moose tag than have the tag myself.

Edit.... lets not threadjack this thread anymore! Start a new one if you want... Congrats to the youngster! Hope he realizes what opportunity he has here!

[idaho guy]

good for your boy. thats awesome! I dont think there are too many youth tags I know my son has struck out for the last 4 years but he still has 4 to go! He struck out again on Idaho this year too but I did draw Idaho in 2013 after 20 years of trying! And Idaho actually has really good odds on moose. Its a lottery and you just have to play the game if you take away a youths tag doesnt mean you would ever draw anyway. Washington odds suck and sometimes I wonder why I put my son in but your boy proves its worth it!good for you and your son! love moose meat. I wonder how much the odds would even change if you took away all the youth tags? Increase from .001 to .01? I dont even know what the odds are for regular moose tags but they look so low I dont think it would move the needle very much.       

[WAPatriot]

My haven't ran the number s but .001 to .01 is a 10 fold increase

Tell your boy congrats.

Sounds like someone's Wheaties are drenched in piss.
