Dave,
I applied my 9 year old daughter for a mentor point this year and they way I understood it the most points she can build and use before she loses her junior status is 9 (4 mentor for ages 9-12 and 5 regular ages 12-17). You mention that your youngest hunter will have 12 when he turns them in?
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Matt
PS. ODFW gets bashed (deservedly) for a lot of things, but in my opinion, they definitely get it right for Junior hunters.
