Still have conflicting opinions about these tags. I guess if the money really is helping wildlife I am 100% for it. With all the money being raised in the past few years from auction tags Utah ought to be the best mule deer state in the nation. I sure dont see it right now. CO is sure kicking our butts, and they dont sell near as many conservations tags as Utah. Just good sound management (limit tags as needed). I looked at a cost break down of where this money is being spent and noticed that the Henry Mountains received more money than most general hunting areas. The probem I have with this is there are very few permits issued for both deer and bison on this unit and yet there seems to be more money spent on areas that 90% of the public will never have the oppurtunity to hunt in their lifetime. I realize money is needed to fund these projects, however, the real issue at hand seems to be limiting tags, which few in Utah can accept as the solution.
