Got to read into the sarcasm there;), but the deer herd on Boulder is hurting. Ratios are skewed based on the actual number of deer. Low herd numbers can have high buck to doe ratios....because its a ratio, not based on herd numbers. It is fine to use a ratio if the herd numbers are at the level...

When there are only 200 Deer per unit the buck to doe ratio it isn't to hard to meet

Looks like they passed legislation removing the 400 square inches of hunter orange and now you can get away with only wearing an orange hat. Also antler buyers are going to have to have a Certificate of Registration and pay .06 cents per pound sold. Unless someone reads it differently then me...

When people say they want to combine points....which system are you going to combine? They are two very distinct systems. One being bonus points and the other are preference points. Preference point systems gives all the tags to the people with the most points. Bonus points in all intents just...

To piggy back on this question, my 2023 license expires the 12th, should be good to go for this years draw, my question is: Does anyone know what the application dates for next year will be? Secondly if one were to draw would they need to buy a license anyway to have a current valid license to...

I am in the same boat, got 23 non-res points and in no mans land on the top tier units. I have waited this long probably wait a few more years to try and get an early muzzy or rifle tag, but the creep is real and keeps taking more and more points to get that special tag.

My suggestion is to go shoot the guns you are looking at. I wanted a SBE2 back in the day and when I finally shot one of my buddies, I really didn't like the way the inertia drive action felt. I also didn't like when you set the gun down on the butt end with a some force the bolt would open...

Another thing you need to realize is that for both units, and all elk units for that matter, you may think you are in the running for a tags, but tag numbers are not staying as they are for this year as they were for last year. The allocation for both units will only have two-three tags for...

The little circle of white in the middle of that unit will be open bull, it is mostly if not entirely private property so it does not really cause an issue with the Nebo unit

Plateau Boulder is in the toilet and in 2019 was @ 13 buck to doe ratio and they cut 400 tags last year and now show it is @ 21 buck to doe ratio and want to raise the tags back up 400 to kill all the 2 year old two points

There aren't a lot of deer on that mountain, and it has steadily been declining.

You may want to contact the Utah County Sheriff's Office I believe they had someone turn in some property found on nebo in that time frame

Like Goofyelk said it is a hard mountain to hunt there are elk from Boulder to Bicknell to Escalante to Loa over to Antimony and all points in between. The elk do not stay in one place and are unpredictable in their patterns. During the rut the bulls will move looking for cows cause contrary...
