LAST EDITED ON Jul-18-06 AT 03:48PM (MST)[p]Knowing how well the bill did this year to lower the age to 12, it's most likely it will "make it" next year.
If you aren't familiar with the bill here it is:

This post isn't to debate what the age limit should be, but raise the question, why limit kids from 12-14 years old? If a kid is old enough to chase big game, why have something in there to limit them from putting in for LE hunts? To me, this is just stupid.
"Son.. you can chase that elk over here, not that really big elk over there.. you have to be 14 to put in." HUH? WHAT?
Anyone care to explain the logic behind this? Besides the fact that adults might feel picked on that more of these coveted tags might not goto them?
P.S. And they can't even buy a point? Why open the door, yet discriminate?
