Saw the warden twice last winter, but have yet to see him this winter. A few antlers with GPS chips in them strategically placed could work wonders.
When I spoke with Adam( warden) last winter, he told me that the pumpers keep a close eye on those bucks and potential horn poachers. I'll bet they do!! Wink, wink. He was there because he had gotten a tip from someone about possible horn poaching. The previous time we saw him, he had gotten a tip about a vehicle with Utah plates being on a closed road. Please stay on the main roads, guys. ALL of the 2-tracks are closed, even if there isn't a sign there. If you get out to take a pic or get some video, stay next to the vehicle! Moving away from the vehicle is very disturbing to the deer!
I also spoke with one of the workers up there last Thursday and he made no qualms about picking up any horn that he sees before May 1. His claim was that if he didn't pick it up, someone else would. Sad thing is...he's right.
There is a movement to abolish the shed season because of all the horn poaching, but it seems to have lost any steam it may have had in the legislature. G&F like the law; it definitely reduces pressure on the deer during their hardest time of the year. Unfortunately, it doesn't affect the few who choose to break it...but it most assuredly affects those of us who don't.
