So I had a person tell me there is no law that prohibits pushing a deer out of city limits and onto legal hunting areas. I've always been told it is illegal but when I looked for an actual law on it I couldn't find anything. Anyone more educated on the subject?
 
I think Colorado law reads something about harassing deer with out actually hunting them in order to have them change locations. Same as chasing with an ATV, honking your horn, etc. Or an outfitter using electric fences to prevent the animals from exiting property etc.

Please check county and local municipality
ordinances regarding firearm restrictions
before hunting in these areas.

If you go just by the UT regs book, you are legal as long as you aren't tresspassing or using your 4WHEELER/truck/helicopter to chase them. I know this kid that used to chase deer out of city limits above Logan with his four wheeler all the time and they'd shoot them right as they crossed power lines into forest ground... That is illegal. I could imagine cities could have their own ordinance on the matter as well.

EDIT...I also spoke with a game warden once about "brushing" for deer. He said technically, if you don't have a deer tag, it is illegal for you to brush for other hunters, because that is part of "taking" wildlife...but that it is rarely/never enforced. Obviously tons of hunters have buddies without tags or their kids out chasing animals out of the trees and never seems to be a problem.
 
Slob hunting at its finest.

HOOK 'EM!
