LE Hunts for youth?

[sniper14]

Just got a call from my cousin who has a boy that is 12. He tried to put him in for a LE deer hunt and it would not let him. He could put in for general season just fine but it would not allow him to put in for a LE deer unit. I told him I have some friends that might know the answer so does anyone know why his boy could not put in for the LE deer hunt

Kids can actually draw and hunt LE & OIAL at 13 years
old,,,AS LONG AS they turn 14 during the calendar year..

One of my boy's fall into this category,,,,
