As Long as We've got enough MOTL Bucks to make the Buck to Doe Ratio everything is Peachy!

Late-season limited-entry muzzleloader buck deer hunt
A chance to hunt buck deer with a muzzleloader ? after the general rifle hunt ? was offered on a few units in 2016. In 2017, the opportunity was expanded to 15 units. Starting in 2018, biologists would like to offer the opportunity on all of Utah's general season deer hunting units.
In the past, a late-season muzzleloader hunt could not be held on a unit unless the number of bucks per 100 does was over the minimum objective of either 15 to 17 bucks per 100 does, or 18 to 20 bucks per 100 does, depending on the unit.
"We'd like to change that," Jones says. "We'd like to offer that opportunity not only on units that are over their objective but also on units that are meeting their objective. And, all of the units in Utah are currently meeting their minimum bucks per 100 does objective."
Jones says only a limited number of permits would be offered for the late-season muzzleloader hunt. He says hunters who have drawn these permits in the past have enjoyed the chance to hunt deer later in the fall. "Fewer hunters are in the field with you," he says, "and the bucks are a little less wary as the breeding season approaches."

Utah and the Buck to Doe Ratio is a joke. I think it might work if they were only counting mature bucks of an older age class in there count, but when they are including every fawn with horns in there count that cant be good. When will Utah DWR wake up and realize that if there are only 15 deer total on a unit and there is one two point buck in the herd that it doesn't meet the buck to doe ratio for a quality herd!
