Currently in Indiana a person can hunt with a youth tag, depanding when their birthday is, up untill they are almost 19.
Do you agree with the current youth tag system?

Giving a youth as much time as possible to economically gain experience and become a confident, reliable hunter, will more likely result in them continuing to hunt throughout their adulthood.

At what ever age they are allowed to be alone in the field with a firearm.
What is the "adult supervision required" age in Indiana anyway?

Leave it where it is. We all know how much these tags add up to for the different opportunties. A youth at 16 or 17 is more financially dependent on their on their parents than someone 18 that may be already out of school and working.

I'm OK with leaving it where it is.

I do not know at what age the youth license cuts off, but it should be the year following the date at which you can legally buy your own ammo. What would be the purpose of it terminating at any other time anyway? Heck, most of the 'teenagers' I know have twice the money to blow as I do anyway.......lol. Ya know, living at home all expense paid, all your money goes where you want it to go anyway. Unlike after you move out, where almost all of it has predetermined destination before you even earn it. . . . . . . . .  I sometimes wish I could move back in myself! ;D |

In the courts you become an adult at 18. I think it is awsome they get all the tags for one low price.

Absolutely,
Probably not enough to make a significant difference to the DNR, but over a lifetime maybe. Kids need to embrace the sport first.

I think its fine where it is. I also think that if you take a youngster on a state sponsored youth hunt or fishing outing they should knock a couple bucks off your license the next year.
Or they could print up vouchers for CO's to issue, during their rounds as they see fit. Say Greendeem checks the fishing license of an adult, who has a youngster with them. Providing the adult has a valid license, the CO could issue a "I was caught taking a kid fishing/hunting" citation good for a dollar or two off a license the next year.
Great PR for our guys and gals in green, and an incentive that might introduce more kids to what we hold dear.

Why would anyone want to question this? Unless they are 20 and finally had to pay full price. Our kids are the future of the sport and they deserve every opportunity to gain as much hunting experience as possible. Sorry, but I don't understand the validity of this question. They have the rest of their lives (hopefully a longtime) to pay full price.

I voted for 16. Reasons being, that is when you can get a license to drive, while some criminal actions are considered adult at 18 they can be waived so that younger can be tried. If I am paying for car insurance, drivers license, sporting fees, etc I have no qualms about having to pay for an adult hunting license.
