Utah hunt newbie here from Las Vegas.
I'm looking to expand my draw opportunities next year into Utah to spread the opportunities that I get tags. Looking at the map Pine Valley/Panguitch Lake/Zion all seem to have decent deer harvest odds with around 50% success.
Also seems nearly impossible to get a tag without at least 2 preference points so basically 1 Utah deer rifle tag every 3 years.
In Utah it says "For general-season buck deer permits, you will earn a preference point if your drawing application is unsuccessful or if you don't obtain a permit for your first choice." and
"If you draw a permit, you will typically forfeit your preference points for that species. However, you will not forfeit your general-season deer preference points unless you draw your first choice."
So is the best strategy to put in for very difficult units (eg Plateau, Thousand Lake) in Utah as first choice so you always land your second choice and build up preference points?
Am I reading this correctly? Any other tips?
