First of all Do you think as a youth they should have a chance at a youth only big horn sheep ram tag? 12 reg tags and 1 youth
In a priemium unit for deer they give out 250 gen tags both adult and youth can apply and 150 youth only tags.
Ibex this one gets under my skin 30 youth only and 15 gen draw the gen is once in a life time.
Elk once in a life time youth 20tags gen 15tags
the thing about it is as a youth you can put in for the gen tag as a first choice then put the youth hunt as second choice and in cases the hunts run at the same time. Also if they draw either a sheep, oryx, ibex or any once in a life time tag as a youth they can still apply again as an adult.
Do not send out the linch mob but I really don't think as a youth hunter they should be getting the Q/HD tags on a youth only hunt. I have kids of my own and I don't think they should be drawing these tags. I have never put my kids in for a youth hunt. I have one more coming up (he is 8 now) and I don't think I will put him in for sheep, ibex or oryx as I just don't think he would really understand or appreicate what the hunt truly was, also not sure if he would have the mental toughness to do a sheep or ibex hunt. I know when I was 15-16 I sure would not have. Just my 2 cents. I DO think we need to everything we can to introduce our kids to hunting and the outdoors just don't think they should be drawing these kind of hunts as a youth only. If a youth is mature enough to go on one of these hunts they should apply for a gen tag with the rest of the adults.
I just think they need to pay thier dues and do some other hunts and then they will get more out of the premium hunts.
