Help me understand youth moose

[NKAS]

Not sure if I'm reading this right? How can the average tag winner for youth moose have 12 points?
Also side note, the lack of youth opportunities for deer and elk antlered is kind of a joke. Why not have a full youth separate season similar to what other states do?

Buying them points since their birth.

That was the only thing I could think of. You've got to have a wild ID to get points but you must not have to pass Hunter safety to be able to apply? Cuz they dump off as soon as the kids are 16 by the looks of it?

A loophole that should be closed in my opinion.  Not at all fair for the kids / families that don't know about it and are at a very clear disadvantage.  it's already like hitting the lottery in this state.

I may be wrong but I think it got closed a few years back

They did “close” the loophole.  Now the only way to purchase a point is if you have a hunting license, not just a wild# Id number that you could get by buying a fishing license.   If the kid has a wild id and can purchase a hunting license, meaning they passed hunters ed, they can buy a point.  The loophole now is having such smart infants passing online hunters ed…

It’s definitely closed. I bought points for my kids from age zero. I have 2 that are hunting and one that shows no interest, but hopefully the two will draw a tag with the added advantage.
