Title: Youth tag points
Post by: jason4429 on June 15, 2011, 04:40:24 PM: My question is what happens if they don't draw a tag before they get to old to apply for the youth tags?Do they lose their points or do they rollover ?If they do rollover do they get points in all the categories?

I didn't think about that. Could you apply for the youth and add the other "general draw" as points?

I wonder how long it would take for someone at WDFW to figure it out? :chuckle:

The kid that hunts with us that drew the Palouse tag drew it in an adult permit pool. He drew it with 1 point his first time putting in.
