Gov tags funds go where?

Forgive me if this was answered in the previous posts, but do the governors tags money go directly to the species of which that tag was for, i.e. deer tag money goes to deer? (I'd hate to think it just goes into a general fund and squirrels or fish can get the money.)

Also, how transparent is the paper trail? Do we really KNOW where the money went?

thanks

"Roadless areas, in general, represent some of the best fish and wildlife habitat on public lands. The bad news is that there is nothing positive about a road where fish and wildlife habitat are concerned -- absolutely nothing." (B&C Professor, Jack Ward Thomas, Fair Chase, Fall 2005, p.10).
 
Go to wildlife.utah.gov/hunting/biggame/pdf/conservation_permit_program.pdf

looks pretty transparent to me. I am and always will be pro conservation permit. I only wish they would give a few more to be able to do more.

Thanks NUNYA- just what I needed.

I'm pretty pro-permit, too and I figure the funds are tracked pretty close, but wanted to know for sure- thanks

4000fps, I just read what you posted here and in the "Big Changes For Utah Deer Hunting" post and is all I can say is quit being such a Negative Nancy.

Now it looks like we might be getting some good managment to go along with all the money we get from the conservation tags.

Cheer up things are getting better.

Christian.....

As you have no doubt notice, the $$$ for projects listed is not Con org tag specific.

So you may not see Gov tag Deer $$$$ broken down per project....make sense?

The project breakdown has been available like this format for years.

Good to see it.

"I am and always will be pro conservation permit."

That's a pretty bold statement... What happens when the ONLY tags are made to be Conservation Tags... You'll stop hunting or pony over $50,000+ to hunt...?

Though the money is nice, I doubt that I could agree that I'd "always" be pro-conservation tag... My SUPPORT for issues changes when the issue no longer follows my ideals and morals, not the other way around...
 
Therein lies the problem, Browning. The complainers are so worried about ME ME ME ME. They could careless about the enormous amount of good these permits have done to help and increase wildlife for everyone. Never once have I heard thanks givin for the Two guzzlers and one solar panel well the 2 thousand plus acres of pinion juniper removal that recently happened on the Henry mountains in an effort to increse deer and buffalo there. An increse that may hand you the ME ME ME crowd and their kids a permit someday. Nobody cares that there are four new sheep units opening in the state of Ut this year thanks to huge efforts in transplanting sheep and restoring them to their native habitat. All of this done with conservation permit money. I could go on and on but the fact is, there are those who know where the money goes and the good it does and they support. And there are those who with blinders on, only care about themselves.
So, what exactly are your morals and ideals Browning? Millions of dollars have been spent on your wildlife by these permit holders. Transplants, habitat and water improvements, land purchases, etc, etc.... All I hear out of most people is "where is my tag"
Also for your info. For every conservation permit auctioned there is a matching permit offered to the general pubilic for raffle/draw. Thats the law. I doubt you need worry about the "ONLY" permits being conservation permits.

+1 Nunya There has also been huge brush hog efforts out on the bookcliffs that will increase habitat for deer and elk, not to mention the new buffalo heard that was introduced last year.

That crap isnt cheap and it is a HUGE benefit to all sporsman.
