They hunt under my bag limit. After 10, they can hold their own bag limit and own permits, but if me or my wife were to draw a good tag, we can let our kid hunt it under our direct supervision under the age of 18.  There are a couple of youth-specific draw tags, but the odds are low. The big difference is that there are abundant hunting opportunities without having to draw a tag - however those types of tags typically require backcountry travel that a casual hunting family typically wouldn't commit to.  I figure that I got about 3-5 years of shooting animals and then my boys will be doing all the trigger work (if they want) besides a couple hunts here and there. I am completely fine with that.  My oldest is 4 in October and I plan to take him with moose hunting in 3 years - it'll be up to him if he's ready to shoot by then and the requirements will be stringent.Edit: I never had a youth tag. Started bird hunting a bit with friends in early high school. My hunting mentor was my uncle and I think I got my first tag when I was 17 (leftover doe) and first buck at 18.  Things turned out alright for me.</blockquote>
