I agree, I've been pulling antlerless NR tags for years and the numbers have always shown how many res vs non res tags there are for a particular hunt. However this year the hunt planner and documents don't say anything about non resident tags. That's why I called them. I'm conveying what I was...

Talked to the folks and she said that the non residents and residents are lumped together for application of the available permits. So non residents can draw the available antlerless tags. I would assume this means that all 2 point holders, resident or non resident, are on equal footing for the...

So I talked to the main Utah office yesterday and the lady didn't know why there were no non-resident tags shows for doe deer. She was going to look into it and call me back. So hopefully I hear and when I do I'll update the group.

So I'm not seeing any non-resident tags available for doe deer this year? Is that correct or is it a typo or are the available tags there for resident and non-resident. I've drawn doe deer a few times in the past as a non-resident but can't remember if the hunt planner showed non resident...

Unsuccessful down the line. Shitty.

Thanks for getting back to us! Makes it worthwhile for those of us that provided some guidance and suggestions. I love 231.

At least last year there were plenty of bucks around where I was. I was at about 5-6K in elevation. I'm not sure if they had migrated or if the ones I was seeing were resident bucks. I will say there were way less does then I see in August during archery so maybe some had migrated out. I would...

I thought so. Again I was very familiar with the area I was in. Since I usually hunt archery I'm used to being kind of alone out there in the center of the unit. With the early rifle I was unprepared for how many people I saw, some actually hunting, and lots driving around scouting for the next...

I'd echo the same comments the others have. I had a late cow elk tag there in November a few years ago and was there, camping, for 7 days straight. I was hard at work scouting an hour before dawn and after sunset every day. I routinely hunt the Nevada side of this unit (#231 archery deer) so I...

I burned 5 non res on an early rifle deer in pine valley mainly because I've hunted it a bunch in archery. Was worth it.

I burned 5 points for the same tag this year. I archery hunted this unit a few years ago and essentially plan to go to the same place I did for the archery. I also may hike to the top and hunt up there since the one night I spent up there I was able to glass up a number of high quality bucks...

It'll be interesting. The last two years I've been in unit 231 for archery (tag in 2017, scouting last year, and tag this year). There are cameras on most of the water holes within 1/2 mile or so of water and they are typically still there if I go back Labor Day weekend. I can't wait till next...
