Youth elk special permit tags modern rifle eastside question

[Archry]

If there are no youth antlerless Elk special permit tags to be drawn can the kids just put in for the general season special permit tags for elk?
My 9 yr old son earned his hunting license this past February...
He is hunting modern rifle. Thanks

[Bob33]

Yes they can apply.

[Mfowl]

He could only be entered as an adult. You could not use youth points in a general category. Should he not be drawn by 16 the youth points are gone forever.

[Archry]

Thanks. Where do I find this in the regs?

[Dan-o]

As a youth, he can apply for youth special permits. 

As a hunter, he can also apply for the other special permits.

He absolutely can do this.   

They are separate categories and points are tracked separately.

Good luck  in the draw.   

[Archry]

Great. Thanks for the info guys!

[Mfowl]

In addition you could be accruing him points in all categories while applying for youth tags and he would have a decent amount of points under his belt when he's done with the youth categories.

I thought youth anterless elk permit tags for colockum weren't going to be avaliable this year?

Looks like 20 of them this year.  My daughter drew north Yakima in 2018.
