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??
: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

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.

the only thing with the youth tags is they are all antlerless only, its just an opportunity for a kid to be able to do a different hunt i dont think they are a bad thing

Moose is a once-in-a-lifetime hunt isnt it? so if they draw when they are a youth would they be able to draw again later in life, or does it use up their moose tag

I think that anything to get a youngster into hunting is beneficial.

Moose is not a "once-in-a-lifetime hunt," it is a once-in-a-lifetime harvest... meaning that somebody who draws a moose tag but does not kill a moose, can continue to apply for a moose permit.

In addition, only the either sex moose permits are once-in-a-lifetime. The antlerless only, of which the youth only hunts are, do not count, and drawing a permit and harvesting an antlerless moose would not preclude one from drawing another moose permit in the future.

I agree. Bird hunting is a great way to get kids into hunting.

I think the youth are a great thing different States do, it gives opportunities for animals they might never be able to hunt, draw, or even see.  My kid has been fortunate to get drawn for several different youth hunts throughout his hunting years, he was absolutely hooked on hunting till he got here, so maybe this will get back into it again...

I am 15, and I apply for Moose, special deer, Special Elk, and points for sheep and goat, I am also applying out of state this year.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

Youth opportunities are key to the future of hunting. My kids have applied for the moose tags since they passed Hunter's Ed. My oldest, sadly, is no longer a youth - as of this year.

I know where you are coming from, Diehard. How many of us have ever even seen or touched a moose. Why would a kid even know to want a cow moose? In this state where we're all just a bunch of squirrels trying to get that one nut, the occasional "token" youth opportunity comes across as just that. It's that one sliver of hope that a guy/family may some day get to taste a little moose meat. IMO
 
My hat's off to all you parents and guardians that hunt and fish with your kids.  :tup:
May the morning silence be broken with the wisp of vanes trailing blades to their mark.

My advice is to use reduced recoil ammunition in the 7mm.  Get within 100 yards and make sure the bullet is well placed in the heart/lung area.  Recoil will be equivalent to the 243 but killing potential is greater, since the bullet is larger.

My kid has dropped two Moose with his .243.... It will do a fine job with the right placement.  Even as I state that, I carried either a .338 or .375. :dunno:

just remember if your kid is going to be 16 at the time of the hunt they are no longer able to put in for a youth moose tag they have to be under 16

I am 16 & I love to hunt :] sometime I might go antelope hunting with my dad, whish seems kind of fun. The man said he would be our feild guy. If you want teenagers into hunting try teaching them to reload. I hunted for about a year before my dad tought me & i love it! Hell I kick him out of the chair hunting seaon & make him watch me do all of our bullets. Which is alot because there is four people that goes hunting ever year.[
