    THERE'S WORD OF HEBER BEING ONE OF THE HOT SPOTS FOR IMMIGRANTS/HOUSING???

    So wait, you’re being told by someone that the government is building free housing just for immigrants in Heber City, Utah…and you believe it? Goodness. No wonder you think tag cuts are a good idea!

    Very good podcast.

    Yep! Even if it seems very counter-intuitive that we have exponentially more people and exponentially more deer and elk at the same time. I’m not sure that helps us figure out “the why,” but yes, we have a lot more people in Utah than we did in the 1700-1800s.

    I’m not sure what I won, to be honest! It’s just a discussion. Lots of questions, not many answers. Unfortunately. I hope some capable and qualified folks come up with some, and very soon.

    Lump, I don’t think any of us in Utah would be happy if the deer and elk populations were today as they were when the Native Americans were burning prairie grasses and the European settlers were building irrigation ditches and aqueducts. “We” (not you and I, but people before us) did an...

    Very good podcast.

    When an opening happens, people apply, a committee nominates 3-5 people to interview with the governor, and then the governor appoints.

    Very good podcast.

    Lump, I don’t claim to know the answer to the problem with mule deer in Utah. However, it’s also not my job or expertise to know. I am much more interested in what those whose job it is to know that think than any politicians, fake conservationists that are more concerned about making money for...

    Arizona leading the way, auction tags to be history

    You’re reaching here, cantkillathing! And we both know your ladder isn’t that tall!!! :p I’m all about doing things for biological reasons. And our early rifle hunt in Utah meets a biological need: killing more bulls. I’ll never possess an early rifle tag unless I get dumb lucky sometime down...

    Yes, number one being tag cuts. You’re welcome for the education!

    Very good podcast.

    We don’t necessarily need experts on the WB, but we need people smart enough to listen to those experts when they talk. It’s pretty frustrating to go to a RAC meeting and listen to the DWR rep talk about study areas, mention that they have studies to show something won’t work, but are...

    Which unit has a deficiency in bull elk? I think we’d both agree we’d like to see more elk across the board. In fact, I know we both want that! But which unit has too few bulls?

    You had me eating out of the palm of your hand until you ask why they didn’t get rid of early rifle elk tags entirely. Zero biological support for doing that. Absolutely zero. Biology needs to reign here, not hunter demand. Period. End of story.

    Where is lone tree when we need him?

    Very good podcast.

    And the wildlife board, since they will be setting the policies! As I stated above, I sure hope this new mule deer committee is listening to the scientists that have the data. I won’t hold my breath as my guess is there will be some antler point restrictions, weapon restrictions, and tag cuts...

    You are finally being honest about not giving facts or truth on this forum. This is a big step, Tri! I’m proud of you. A miracle on Palm Sunday. Who said miracles have ceased?
