I was today years old when I learned that a CORE qualified youth can either buy a youth licence or a regular licence. Neither is required to apply LEH so the parent can decide later upon LEH results are released. If my son and I both pull a doe draw, or if he pulls a doe draw but I don't but I want to hunt a buck, we both need to buy regular license.
Sure you don't need to have a valid hunting license to enter into LEH but you do need your FWID and wild credentials which means they passed the CORE. If they passed the CORE then you would never buy them a youth license, just buy them a regular license and tags. What are you going to save? $10?

Again, this post is to discuss the LEGAL options regarding licence/tag purchasing. A youth who passed CORE and has a valid FWID is eligible to apply for LEH draws and later decide whether to buy a regular licence or a youth licence. My point is not to save money but to see what best fits my needs when it comes to purchase tags based on scenarios such as:
- Parent and youth both draw doe tags;
- Parent draws doe tag, youth doesn't but wants to hunt youth buck season;
- Youth draws doe tag, parent doesn't but wants to hunt GOS buck season;
- None draws doe tag but both or just one wants to hunt buck season;
- None draws doe tag and none wants to hunt deer.
It is, the rule of first blood. Not, the last guy to put a bullet in the animal. First blood isn't just a nic. Its deadly hemorrhage.
Don't think about it within a hunting party, but two completely different groups. You whack and animal and as your tracking it, someone finds your animal, likes the rack, and puts another bullet in it and tags it. NOPE. Respect the rule of first blood.

Agree.
In the area that I have been hunting for black bears, the injured bear would be unretrievable if we do not put a kill shot quickly. the side of the road is not a slope, it is 85 degree cliff.
Agree.

I agree with you as I have hunted bear in similar areas; but some of the forum members would rather prefer the bear be legally unretrievable and expire because they believe the kill shot must be fired by the same guy who shot the bear first and no one else should do a follow-up shot. "If a guy shot the bear first, why not let him finish"; "We have no shortage of bears, nothing will be wasted in the nature"; "Don't game the system, if you shoot the bear last and killed it then cut your tag" etc.

That scenario isn’t even remotely close to what is being discussed. If you kill it, you tag it.
Shooting a dead animal so you can take it is just theft. Pretty sure there was a thread here last fall of that exact scenario.
Here's one for all you regulatory Saints. If you and a buddy want to go moose hunting. And you want to "get two moose" tags. Is using your 80 years old Dad's hunter number allowing you and your buddy to shoot two moose, wrong? This is premeditated. You and your buddy have thought this out and your 80 year old dad is in a wheelchair. Price of fine if caught? Jail time?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
if 81 year old grand dad has every intention of hunting (he can get disabled permit and shoot from a sxs or pick up hunt by proxy etc ) then sure apply as a group . If someone is using dear ol grampa for his hunter number while he is stuck in a nursing home suffering from dementia and wheelchair bound with no chance of participating in the hunt, well that would be really pathetic.
The idea behind leh Shared hunt is to have x amount of tags available and give more hunters the opportunity to hunt the animal without excess animals taken from the pool. If people use non hunters that have hunter numbers but dont actually participate in the hunt to scam or cheat the system and better the odds for themselves it kinda goes against the intention of the Shared hunt .
The designation of "Shared Hunt" implies an active participation in the hunt at whatever level they are able to.
An application by a hunter having a physical disability for a permit under section 2 (aa), 2 (bb), 3 (2) or 3.1 (1)(a) of the Permit Regulation. Disabled hunter can request the permit for any combination of the following:
to discharge a firearms from a motor vehicle
to seek exemptions from areas subject to motor vehicle closures
to be assisted by having one or more hunting companions, to track, kill and retrieve big game wounded by the disabled person
to be assisted by having one or more designated (proxy) hunting companions, to hunt and kill big game on behalf of the disabled person.

Why come here and ask the question if you’ve already made up your mind about the answer.
You asked what is legally allowed, you got the answer, and now you get sanctimonious about the answer…

You did not read the whole post. The question also lead to scenarios such as to see what best fits my needs when it comes to purchase tags based on scenarios such as:
- Parent and youth both draw doe tags;
- Parent draws doe tag, youth doesn't but wants to hunt youth buck season;
- Youth draws doe tag, parent doesn't but wants to hunt GOS buck season;
- None draws doe tag but both or just one wants to hunt buck season;
- None draws doe tag and none wants to hunt deer.
We are stronger together
