I like how Utah fish an Game handles their business based on numerous years of hunting , and also dealing with fish and game in numerous western states .
In Utah I think they do the best job they can with what they have to work with . Lets face it , they have tons of country to cover , and they are under staffed . I don't think it's realistic that they can be every where , and in every single drainage or canyon .
In some of the neighboring states I have seen where there seems to be more wardens assigned to specific areas , and that has been good and bad . I have hunted limited entry areas in Wyoming for elk and after 15 days of hunting I never saw a game warden . Then on the other side I have hunted antelope in Wyoming in one area where the same game warden checked my tags , regristration on all vehicles , guns , and basically every check minus a body cavity search , on three different occassions all on one week of hunting . He was wasting his time and mine , and can't figure how he could patrol his area if he was wasting that much time with every hunter .
So I'm pretty happy with Utah , and I hope they keep up the good work .
