10 otherwise provided in this subsection, an individual may not apply for or be issued a

15 provisions govern youth deer and antelope hunting:
16 a. An individual whose eleventh, twelfth, or thirteenth birthday occurs in the same
17 year as a youth deer hunting season is entitled to receive a statewide white-tailed
