Are there that many youth wanting to hunt moose?
« on: April 23, 2009, 06:29:54 AM »
 :dunno:

8005 Mt Spokane youth only 2008 apps 1037 (10 permits drawn)
8009 49 Degrees North youth only 2008 apps 916 (2 permits drawn)

Makes you wonder how many people are putting in for these draws in order to fill little Johnny's tag?

what kid who likes to hunt wouldn't want to moose hunt??

" 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

I am sure some kids' parents want them to hunt moose more than the kids do themselves. I am also sure there are kids who just want to hunt moose.

I know a particular kid (16) that will be putting in for his first "Shiras" Moose!  Not his first Moose  :chuckle: :chuckle: but heck this makes his odds so much better and besides, I'll be eating good if he scores a tag anyhow....  Problem is, he'll be picky like Huntnphool was and I'll burn all my vacation time while he looks for Mr Big....  All while I'll be telling him to drop the tenderist looking spike for eats.... so to answer the question of: Are there that many youth wanting to hunt moose?  Heck yea- their no different than adults...  We just can drive......  If fact I'm going to double the odds for a trip over there by having my younger (14) of the two put in also.

my boys put in for moose, if they draw they will be the one that pulls the trigger. they are 10 and 12. i put them in for 2 bull tags and 2 youth tags. it's mainly just so they have the points. i wish someone was putting me in when i was their age...i also put them in for every other tag there is too, including some other states. i'm sure one day they will thank me.

Ya'll got me thinking. My nephew is 13 and kinda small. What caliber would he use? I have a .243, .30-.30, and a 7mm Mag. I'm certain the 7mm would be the best, but could the .30-.30 do the job using Leverevolutions? :dunno:

I don't think kids should have separate moose permits. They should have to put in the time like everybody else does before drawing a moose tag. But, I will definitely be putting my daughters in for it as soon as they are old enough to do so.
