Post by: Timberstalker on May 23, 2013, 07:04:12 PM: I believe they are gone. The points are accrued for youth categories and the youth is no longer eligible for that so they just go away.

Obviously if the youth has been building points in non-youth categories they remain.

Post by: doyourtime89 on June 21, 2013, 08:56:17 AM: Yeah I was always putting my son in for other hunts too, not just the youth tags. So in all those other category's he kept his points. And he actually drew a rifle Toutle Quality Bull tag this year.

Post by: jason stevens on June 25, 2013, 07:32:32 AM: If they did it like most other states they would be youth until they turn 18.

No license required to put in for those special tags. To get a wild ID go get them a free fishing license. My 6 year old daughter has 6 points for each of the above mentioned.

That is awesome! Going to get our daughter hers so she can start building points! At 3 yrs old she should have some awesome hunts come about 10-12yrs old. :tup:

Well, got to say good luck with that. The only permit apps that do not require a license/tag purchase are moose/sheep/goat. Odds are very long (as I'm sure you are aware) even with max points. But a few extra points is always better than none.
