I’m not an expert by any means. I have young boys 9 and 7 who will be interested in hunting. Can i get their name in and start building points for some awesome units or will I have to wait till they are actually old enough to go? I’m thinking 18-22 age timeframe before I kick the bucket!
Can you put your young kids in for draw units?

Minimum age to buy points and/or hunt varies state to state. Just gotta check the regs in the state you’re interested in. Welcome to the forum!

As was said in the first reply, different states have different minimum ages for applying for preference and/or bonus points. I believe Montana now has no minimum age for bonus points. Generally, you can’t actually put your kids in for a “draw unit” unless they will be of legal hunting age when the season opens. You wouldn’t want your child to draw a tag if they will be too young to legally hunt.

I think some states are 10 and some are 12, as Magnum said, gotta take a look at each state. The regs are pretty specific and easy to find info. I think Arizona is 10.

If they make the age cut put them in for points.

I started buying bonus points in Montana for my son when he was 1 . When he’s 12 and able to draw a bull permit he’s gonna have a good shot
