Really no surprises, we have diverse feelings on what is wanted and needed.

Some things that are consistent and we all want are:


-We want more deer in the state not just bucks.

-45% of hunters were very disappointed in last years hunt, but 55% were ok, to approving.

-Since we are going to 29 units, we all want a PLAN, that will keep opportunity high, and improve the situation. Most are open to doing whatever it takes to get this done. Different weapons for different units, different hunt times, etc.

Here are the results:
Q: Utah will be divided up into 29 units for Deer Hunting in 2012.
Of the 3 items listed below, what should the Utah Fish and Game have as their highest priority as they roll out this plan.
59% increase Deer Herds
22% increase buck age and numbers

Q: Related to your Deer Hunting experience in 2010 in the State of Utah.
Please select what best describes your overall experience.

45% disappointed
33% ok
22% great leave it alone

Q: If we have to have 29 units I would be thrilled if the FG....

38% Made a plan for each unit, including different weapon options, primitive and rifle plan for each unit.
29% Increase number of primitive weapon tags to keep opportunity high
23% Cut buck tags and increase buck size over years
17% Keep tags the same as now.
 
I'll tell you something else that would be interesting. I would like to know the ages of those surveyed. I've got my own theories on that one but it would be interesting to see which age groups favor certain changes.


It's always an adventure!!!
