A letter to the editor today was by a man who'd entered his kid in a group draw. (They didn't draw.) He said that the application said nothing at all about the kid's not being eligible to apply. He asks asked what they intend to do with his application fees if they decide to throw out the permits. He wants them back.
However, he's wrong. This is in the regulations:
Since this law does not take effect until July 1, 2014, hunters who are 10 cannot apply for big game controlled hunts in the first controlled hunt application periods (April-June), but a 9-year old who will turn 10 during the season can apply in the second application period in August.
