youth moose

[turkey slayer]

The youth hunter that brought me a skull that he wanted europeaned last year had 2 points but it was a cow hunt.

My 11 year old just passed her hunters ed and was really dissapointed when I told her that she might be my age before she draws a bull moose tag in this state.

yup...pretty crappy deal for all starting now in any of the OIL

Good luck to all of the youth  for the cow tags.

Just submitted my cow tag - since I am going to get drawn too maybe we can hook and wack two of them.

Polarbear... I didn't realize you were 100 years old....

My oldest son has 7 points this year for youth moose and this is his last year.  He has as good a chance as any - but probably still wont draw.  He was the first alternate when he had 3 points so I figure he used up all his luck just getting that close.

The ONLY way the odds are ever going to get better for drawing Moose (or any other OIL tag) in this state is to increase the cost of the application. There just isn't any two other ways about it.  Good luck to all those applying for Moose this year.

i know my son and the girl he took hunter ed with when they were 10 have been putting in and havent drawn and this will be there last year as well, there isnt a whole lot they can do about moose for the youth but they could fix the elk permits where it makes the youth have a greater chance i sure think they could take half of all those toutle permits and give them to the youth it would help them alot, sorry fellas didnt mean to jump off thread

I agree.  Cow elk permits would be great for youth.  All those cow permits they have added lately should go to youth.

Say you turn 16 with 7 moose points after putting in for youth moose since 9 years old.  Will those points apply for the non-youth moose permit draw?  So at say 20 years old you would have 12 points?

No they don't roll over. With the new system you only get points when you buy a app in each area. But when they made the switch they applied what ever points you had at the time to each area that you where eligible for. So say you had 5 points before the switch, they would have gave you 5 points in all the areas any bull/cow etc. But after doing that you have to buy a app for each area to continue to grow points. Once a youth hunter turns 16 they are no longer a youth and can't apply for youth only hunts.For elk/moose/deer etc.

There are point only #'s. You won't draw but you will get a point.

The Reg's this year say any average of 3 and 4 points to draw.

That doent have anything to do with what I was talking about. My point was once a youth turns 16 they can no longer put in and draw a youth tag and the points will never get used.

I believe I read that the OIL fees are increasing from 100.00 to 300.00 this Sept.
