I was told they aren’t eligible for pts until their 10th Bday. They screwed you over. Both my kids have summer birthdays and both got points that year when applying at 9 years old almost 10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proceeds good chaps.. I gotta say that I sorta agree with MogollonMan on this. Internet chat groups can be a great place to banter and share experiences and info, but I personally would never make a borderline decision or go with the interpretations of anonymous dudes on the internet. I would always go directly to the source/AZGFD. (I know, I know.... Folks call there and get varying stories too. lol) 2024-Pronghorn-and-Elk-Hunt-Draw-Information_240105.pdf (amazonaws.com) Reference to age restrictions and info can be found on page 6 and 8. Seems pretty straight forward: Need to be 10 years old to hunt big game (page 6) and 10 years old by application deadline to apply for a bonus point (page 7). I would recommend someone contact G&F to get any clarity. Regarding never being on Facebook, it's basically the same thing here but under a separate wrapper. Internet chatting & banter.... It's all "social media". lol Good luck to ALL kids in the upcoming draw! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But main question is can i pick her up a youth over the counter turkey tag without her having field day and hunt spring turkey otc? Yes, she can apply for elk/antelope. From page 6 of the regulations (link posted above): "No one under the age of 14 may hunt big game without having completed a Hunter Education Course. No one under age 10 may hunt big game in Arizona. To hunt big game, anyone 10 to 13 years of age must have in their possession a valid combination hunt and fish license, a valid Hunter Education Course completion card, plus any required permit-tags or nonpermit-tags." According the the wording, she cannot hunt big game without a course completion card. I'm assuming she would not get that until the field day is complete. (You can 'pick-up' an OTC tag, but she can't legally hunt without the course completion...) Good luck to her!!!! NOTHING beats hunting with your kids!!!!
