I was just wondering how many of you guys filled your tags. A lot of people said they didn't see many deer. My son and I both filled our tags with meat pole bucks.

How exactly does the F&G come up with their harvest numbers? They can't possibly contact everybody that had tags for the year?

Thanks
 
The DWR surveys a statistically valid portion of the hunting population...from these surveys they can determine a statistically valid approximation of the number of deer harvested. Also, they acquire some harvest stats from dedicated hunters who do not turn in their tags...
 
I get a call from the FWP every year with a survey. I have not filled my tag yet. I think I have 2.5 week left in the season. just waiting for the rut.

I think every utah archer is waiting for the rut! Lol I know I am. After this storm tomorrow it oughtta pick up good. On the general I saw a lot of deer but nothing big. Hardly saw any bucks at all... Heard the same thing from a lot of guys. A lot of them said they weren't seeing deer period.

I talked to a guy at work with an wasatch extended tag he tells me they have started to rut. I hunted the general season N.E. region and did not see alot of bucks. I did take a decent buck however.
 
I was up there today and I say a 2 point chasing a doe back and forth for about an hour. It was pretty funny just wish he was about 4 times his size.
 
Uhhhh... the rut is ON! Been watching them up by Kennecot for a week now and seen some last night on the Wasatch! Dont ask me what they were doin... this is a family show!
 
I harvested a decent buck yesterday (13th) on the extended hunt. He wasn't the biggest I have seen this year but...he'll do!
