Title: Silly question
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on February 15, 2010, 12:17:36 PM: After reading the proposed changes, I noticed the change for youth permits

B. Special hunting seasons for youth: Only persons who are
eligible to lawfully purchase a youth ~~((hunting license))~~ special
hunt application are eligible to apply for special hunting season
permits for youth.

Does this mean, I can start applying for ghost point for my children who have not completed "Hunter Safety" yet?

Post by: bobcat on February 15, 2010, 05:21:58 PM: I would like to start building up points for my 2 year old and 4 year old daughters as well. I'm not sure about that new wording, doesn't make sense. You have to purchase a hunting license first in order to purchase deer and elk tags, and the tags have to be purchased before buying the special permit applications.... or do they ??? Yes I think so because at least for elk you have to decide on east or west tag before purchasing the permit apps. Well either way, a person under 18 is required to have hunter education before buying a hunting license. So I see no way to start building points for young children until they pass hunter's ed.

You don't for the moose, sheep, and goat permits. Which is why they are so popular with the non-residents. I think that's what sticknstring was saying.

Oh, I see. I guess that makes sense. Just call WDFW and tell them they'll make more money that way. THey'll go for it...

On the other hand, if you just SELL him to WDFW, they will probably give you a moose tag...
