LAST EDITED ON Mar-18-19 AT 11:31AM (MST)[p]Just curious as hunters in utah specifically. Do you ever feel like we have screwed ourselves out of a lot of hunting opportunities by trying to raise big bull elk for the rich to hunt? My wife has been putting in for elk for 23 years now, she is about to draw a tag out of the max point group, but man is it really worth the wait. If you are rich you get to hunt the bull elk every year, but if your not, you waited a life time to hunt a bull elk in utah. So my question again, is the loss of hunting opportunity worth the wait?
For the elk we sacrifice years for one opportunity, possibly 2 if your lucky. In Utah we should look at hunting these animals a different way, and give out lots more chances to hunt them instead of raising them for the kings to hunt. I think I would rather hunt elk every 3 to 4 years rather than hunt them once or twice in a lifetime. We are sacrificing to much for the kings to enjoy the fruits of our loss of opportunity.
Dont give me the spike hunt as our opportunity, or the cow tags.
If you really look at your chances to ever draw a tag in utah it will get more discouraging if you really knew your odds if you dont have atleast 20 points.
And yes my view has changed, I use to say wait your turn and this and that, but my kids getting old enough to hunt, and putting them in really discouraged me, because i know its going to be a long shot for them ever to draw a tag. There best bet is to become rich and buy a tag..
