I'll bet poaching happens on lots of un-named units also! And if a person works hard and does his homework can kill a good buck on Vernon or other units. Sure, some idiot poaching does effect the deer herd and quality. But so does the DWR giving too many tags, Banquet tags and landowner rags! This unit is close to the wasatch front which means it gets pressured more than a remote unit like the Henrys. Lots of folks run out to look and scout even without tags. Ya gotta really want to go to the Henrys! But there are some good bucks on Vernon. Good Luck! Remember that pulling the trigger is just the final act of what should be a great memory. It's the planning and scouting and camping and hunting that make up the majority of the experience. Don't worry so much about the sky falling that ya don't enjoy the sunrise!
