My family of 11 applied for this area rifle. only 1 drew a tag so much for family hunting.
 
Ive said it before, people have to realize that they have to sacrifice in the short term to prosper in the long run.
 
should have put them in as separate tags instead of putting them in as groups. This would have allowed more chances at the draw and more people in your hunting group would have drawn.


If you didnt put them in as groups this makes me believe there is actually something to these programs the dwr uses to draw names. It seems if you have a certain last names you always draw and others just wait.

Utah is cutting back tags in areas such as the one the OP put in for. That means everyone in his group didnt get a tag. Therfore they are sacrificing this year and with less deer harvested, the population may grow to a point where utah can give more tags in the future.

Colorado did the same in the past. I didnt like not being able to buy a otc tag but its definity paid off in the long run.

Camping and fishing helps to have the "family" experience anytime you want. I'd rather have my boys get a chance to harvest a quality animal once every few years vs. going out each year, everyone of us having a tag and seeing nothing but orange pumpkins everywhere. Keep the tag #'s low!


You want more "opportunity"? Start shooting a bow and apply for out of state tags as well, IT'S THAT SIMPLE!

For sure CO is just piling tags back on. Once tags are gone we will never see the same number of tags coming back. I hope I am wrong but I see a bookcliffs scenario where no matter what you do you can't please people. There are 150"+ bucks grazing on the side of the road but everyone is ticked off because there are no big deer on the unit. Remember it was supposed to be brought back to a general unit. That went well :(

Every member of my family puts in separately for LE hunts- this way, if one draws- we all draw really... We all want to be a part of each others' hunts, but having multiple tags to fill just puts more pressure on the hunt, and it'd be less fun...

I used to enjoy hiking around by myself, knowing that if I got a buck down, family was nearby, but since being with family when they harvested an animal, especially with video in hand, this has made it more exciting... Taking joy in another's success is what I think hunting is all about.

With that said- 1 out of 11 seems low. Did you guys piss off a witch or something..?? :D

Antlerglazed very well put. We all need to adapt and support change. Just cuz we don't have a tag don't mean we can't go out in the hills and learn more during the hunt.
 
I feel your pain. Not one of my family members drew for this area. We have been hunting here since '91. We didn't draw any of our 5 choices. Something is off when you have been a resident your whole life and are not allowed to hunt in your own state. IMO this new system will condense hunters, not improve buck ratio's.
 
To all you people that didnt draw this year look at it this way, you have alot better chance of drawing next year, you all have a point over the people that drew this year....

Stop b!tchin and look at the bright side.

Hell I drew my archery tag this year and Im seriously concidering turning it back in cause of how bad the general hunt has been the last couple years, might as well turn it in and start building points so when things turn around I can get a tag.

This is a step in the right direction, and its just going to take a couple years for everyone to figure out the system.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-17-12 AT 12:08PM (MST)[p]Smaller units will!!!!!

They only took 500 tags from what they had last year, the fact that so many people didnt draw there area of choice just shows how over hunted some areas are, and forces people to spread out.

I liked it the way it was. Here are a few my family have taken in this area in recent years. Why fix what isn't broken?
