LAST EDITED ON Dec-13-10 AT 10:00PM (MST)[p]Hi Guys-
I seldom post on this site, but enjoy getting on it and browse.
I appreciate forums like MonsterMuleys where western hunters can communicate.
Who likes to sit on the bench? Not me!!!
I prefer to be in the ball game. I don't want to sit on the pine every other year or every two years! Do You?
Option#1...
I would prefer if we were given one deer permit in 2012, for example, and it is good for two years not just one year.
If you kill the first year, your done and can't hunt the second year. This way a meat hunter or mature buck hunter has the opportunity to hunt two years in a row if he wishes and not have to sit out and pretend he is a fisherman or golfer in the Fall. You can shoot the first year too if you wish.
Option#2....
I see us getting closer in this state to drawing a deer permit in 2012 and having to sit out in 2013 to give another a chance to hunt who didn't draw in 2012, or not drawing in 2012 and totally sitting it out until the 2013 season.
For a man that loves to hunt, I would take option # 1 over #2, any day! I would even be willing to pay more $ for Option #1 vs. option #2.
I like to be in the woods and I look for options that increase that opportunity to hunt without over harvesting the resource.
If it gets to where it is a drawing every third year, I would still prefer a one buck permit good for three seasons vs. sitting out two years fishing for two years before I get to hit the hills and hunt deer in Utah again.
For meat hunters option 1 and 2 is the same for them, they are only going to be able to harvest one buck in two years. Right? So unless the permit costs more or something, a meat hunter shouldn't care which option.... correct?
I have had a dedicated hunter permit and love to hunt every year.
I think I have only taken 3 bucks in 10 years of hunting. Let me hunt more in the future I ask, don't turn me into a fisherman. I am a hunter and one that understands there will be a time in the near future we can't have a buck tag every year.
Those on this site, what is your preference #1 or #2?
Right now #2 is going to be the reality in a few years I am afraid.
Do any of you see a downsides to option #1 if option #2 becomes the norm for us in Utah? What are they?
I would hope this begins to be discussed in hunting circles.
So that when the time comes for us to have to go to option #2, we see a better option for us to hunt more.
