If I buy my YOUTH Hunting/Fishing License and Tags in the spring at age 17, will they be valid for hunting/fishing after my 18th birthday.

I am seventeen years old planning my 2013 hunting / fishing season I want to buy my license and tags now in January but I can't find a defining answer in the regulations if my Youth Hunting License and Tags will be valid after my May birthday. Can,t afford to buy both. Thank You
Answer: 
Your purchase of youth hunting/fishing licenses and tags will be valid through the end of the year, even after you turn 18.
