The do-gooders here should answer this question. Ethically of course.
The late hunts were added to the Utah elk line up last year for opportunity. The idea here was to have a lower percent success rate with fewer large bulls harvested.
Every year Moss gets his butt dragged through the mud because the sportman tag holder shoots his bull on the winter range. The ethics patrol cries foul long and hard.
So, the late hunts failed to meet their objectives. The biggest bulls were shot on winter range and success was pushing 100%. Sounds like a shoot and not a hunt.
Is it ethical for me to put in and hunt the winter range on the Pahvant? Will my trophy be less of a trophy because I did not shoot it during the rut? One guy told me this was a girl's hunt. Will you guys think I am a puss for shooting a winter range bull? Or, can I beat my chest and grunt like Tarzan?
Tell me. How many are NOT putting in for these unethical winter range slaughter-house tags? My wife is. She is a girl though.;-)
