Minimum kid age question

[hossblur]

I see its 12. But does that mean 12 when the hunt starts, 12 by the end of the hunt, or 12 that calender year?

Wyo web page doesnt let me search for the specific.

Thx

Can’t hunt until they are 12. You can be 11 and apply. Hunt dates can start when 11 but kid can’t start hunting until they turn 12.

You have to be 12 years old! my daughter drew a goat tag at age 11. she turned 12 with 3 days left in the season and she killed a great goat!

Try to plan for your kids to be born around August 1st.

Thank you for this. I do have another question for youth hunters. I didn't find the answer in the booklet provided by the link. Can a youth under the age of 12 purchase points, or do they have to be legal hunting age to purchase points?

Just purchased points for my 11 year old who will be 12 next hunting season

That's not how I read the rules. What I read was must be 12 that calendar year to purchase preference points. Is your child born in 2009 or 2008? I have a 11 year old born in 09 and guess I will try and see if it works.

"(v) A person eleven (11) years of age may apply for a preference point if the person shall become twelve (12) years of age in the same calendar year as the application for a preference point is made."
