Youth tags are still decent, with kids dropping out when they turn 16, it naturally prevents point creep beyond a certain level.  If the department doesn't drop youth tags, it should stay pretty good.

They are all to old for youth tags now. I managed to get My middle Son a doe tag in 505.
He had a couple chances but He's a kid and took to long to take the shot. I do think I was successful in getting him hooked on hunting. The youngest wants nothing to do with it. I'm not the kind of Dad to force the issue. I ask him every year to go on just one trip with Me. No thanks is the response I get every time. He's 15
The oldest went into the Marine Corp right after high school and is currently deployed in some horrible place that He can't tell us about. He also had a couple chances at Deer in 510 when He was 16 and 17. One that was only foiled By the fact He forgot to take the safty off. Not a mistake in My book. 
I still hold out hope to see each one take a deer and an elk.

Yes like Idaho, but not deer/elk or goat, sheep, moose. One hunt choice period.

I have drawn 2 cow permits over the years but never a bull permit -never applied for the “easier” draws though - just the tough ones
If you're gonna be dumb,you gotta be tough.

They dropped all but 1 youth moose tag  :chuckle:
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Not sure why they would strip the kids of even having a chance. I would rather see the cow tags taken from the regular hunt application. Makes me think twice about even giving them the $3.80 for my sons youth moose permit.  It really seems like they  kept the category just to collect fees. One tag available is a slap in the face.

Yeah, the 1 moose tag is pretty pathetic.

My daughter has 9 youth moose points and I didn't put her in for the 1 tag. I did put her in for the bull tags and the regular antlerless tags. But the youth category is a joke with only one tag.

Yeah, I’m not applying my boys. They should’ve just eliminated the category in my opinion.

Not to mention if you don’t live long enough to draw a tag.  Our state Takes the point you payed for. 🤬
Would be nice if I die before I get to hunt anything good maybe I could pass them on to one of my children or grandchildren. I did pay for them and it clearly says your points on line.

That would make the problem worse.

Bingo
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

You are right you applied for a permit and received a point to increase YOUR odds in future years. There was never any promise that anyone else would benefit from that. You haven’t applied for your tags to increase your child or grandchild’s odds.   :twocents: if you would like your children or grandchildren to benefit from your points then apply as a group with them.
