Looks like 41080 sheep apps for 336 tags, 31677 goat apps for 244 tags, and 5895 desert apps for 15 tags. Thats 78652 apps for 595 tags. Its a lottery folks. Slightly better odds if you have a few points and are a resident. Never going to get easier. Demand has outpaced supply as long as I...

Why do archery guys still get an OTC area that doesent burn points? I don't have a problem merging the 3 systems, but finding a fair way to do it seems pretty hard. Just hunters continuing to fight with hunters over the same set of tags.

Goat is done now too for me. No luck

Oh, and it does show that I have another point for sheep. Nothing on goat yet.

My portal has been updated to" not awarded" on sheep. Goat hasn't updated yet

Any news yet?

If you are starting from scratch with no prior knowledge I would say the the harder it is to draw the better it will be on average. The "market" is usually correct. If you have hunted a unit before and have some info it might be worth switching to an easier to draw unit. I have some units I...

No unit in colorado is worth the points it takes to draw if you have been playing the game for awhile, but the points required to draw is still relative to the perceived quality of the hunt. Where else are you going to go with your points? The market says 8 points gets you a shot at 140-160...

SJ is better hands down. Vernon has 35 landowner vouchers this year. A large chunk of those 35 tags go to guided hunters or hunters with a posse. A ton of competetion and hunters concentrated for the handful of 170 plus bucks every year.

Nonresident shed season to start may 1. Year round for residents. Sounds like they wanted some kind of reciprocity but it got to complicated. Sorry non residents. Thank Wyoming.

Looks like they are they are running with the "health of the herd is better with lower buck to doe ratio". Smoke em if we if we got em before another bad winter gets them. General season is an opportunity hunt after all. Probably a big fight at the south RAC meeting about Pine Valley...

I like the proposals staff is suggesting. Curios to see if the Board feels the same. It is a bigger win for deer than I expected. Options for earlier archery deer and deer in 1st rifle determined on area level. I think going back to the earlier dates will let a few more mature bucks make it...

Mostly people are looking to cash out and get out of the system. The current late season structure, lots of tags, and no apparent desire to change that from CPW going forward are not going to make anything better with the next 5 year plan. Its just going to get worse so many are just cashing...

Trying to follow you here. So you are saying if we dont let the lifetime tag holders mentor their tags to youth, it will make non lifetime hunters more ok with the fact that lifetime tag holders have lifetime tags? All it would do is penalize youth for the sake of maybe making a lifetime hater...

Tags went fast this year, especially elk. System started out slow but was way better than last year. Number 15000 in line was still good enough for a mediocre deer tag. Getting harder to get any tag these days.

Secondary elk draw results are in your account now. Dont know when deer will hit.

I dont think upfront will help with draw odds much. The 2 states I hunt the least are both random, ID and NM. Fact is more people are looking at the states next door because its getting harder to get tags in your home state. Point creep, worse odds, increase in fees, and decrease in quality...

Hatch and Hamberlin were sentenced last week on the jury trial felony conviction. This was the Utah case. The Arizona charges are set for a review on the 22 and there is a non jury trial date set in april but I dont know how that one is moving forward yet. They asked for some softer...

The cougar and trail cam update was not in the original bill. It was added last minute by the Senate. No cams period on public last half of year (some exceptions) and private can do whatever they want year round if its not a cell cam. Passed and waiting for the Governor to sign it. I dont...

Thank you for coming on sharing info with us and thank you for serving on the Jury. Looked like a huge slow moving time comittment. Where any of the members of the jury hunters?

Yes, both guilty. They were tried simultaneously.

The obstruction probably had to do with him leaving camp with a phone and a set of antlers that disapeared somewhere before they caught up with him.

They may have dropped the obstruction charge at the end based on juristictional issues with Arizona.

For those following this. Jury trial ended in Utah last night. Guilty of 3rd degree Felony. Sentencing in February. Arizona trial still to come. SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT-Kanab MANDY LARSEN December 09, 2022 Friday 09:00 AM 1 TRIAL-JURY WLR 211600067 State Felony STATE OF UTAH ATTY: VAN DYKE...

They have moved 462 people trough in the first 2 hours. What a total joke. Worst system of all states.

The leftover list just shows what tags are available to purchase on the time stamp that is generated on the report. If the tag was available 1 min earlier and purchased it will not show up. If the tag comes up 10 seconds after, it might show up on the next report in 5 min, but only if it was...

Pretty tough go today. Big delays for so few tags.

Anyone know when secondary draw results are out? Only thing I can find is you have until July 21 to pay for it.

State wide average its a 950 cut, but Pine Valley itself is going from 4100 to 1700. Almost 60% cut.

Permit recommendations and presentations are up on the website for the rac meetings. Looks like Pine Valley is taking a big cut this year. https://wildlife.utah.gov/public_meetings/rac_minutes/2022-buck-deer-permit-recommendations.pdf https://wildlife.utah.gov/agendas-materials-minutes.html

Looks they are up now.

Anyone keep track on when they update the odds on the draws for Utah? Page says last time it was updated was July 2020.

16 NR wasn't enough for 54 3rd this year

I still think the current system is best. I saw alot of tags go through this year and call bs on all the good ones going to bots. It was way more competitive than last year though. I played the older reissue game and didn't have much success. There will now be 10 times as many people all...

Thanksgiving might mess up your 4th season. If there is any weather at all early I think 3rd will be better and longer season. If your your 3rd season unit does not have a 4th I would go that direction. Units that dont have a 4th season will have a great 3rd in 2021. (essentialy first year...
