Won’t matter. The same guys buying the gov tag will flood the raffles and likely draw these tags most years. Unless they limit the tickets that can be purchased by one person. Which will not bring in the money they are expecting to make up if that happens.

And then there’s Remi Warren drawing another expo tag again. 🤔

It was a grind but we made it happen. We are supper excited with this buck considering we were only seeing a few deer a day for the first 4 days. Also when we called in the harvest last week the guy told us this was the biggest buck that had been reported in for that hunt so far. Thanks to all...

Seen lots of really good deer on there this year while hunting elk. Keep grinding you’ll turn them up.

Maybe people should start hunting a little harder. I’ve had a tag every year and every year I still seem to dig up 180+ buck. Don’t get me wrong the deer have struggled but every single western state has experience the exact same struggles Utah has. Cut tags when the deer are down but just cause...

No big deal if they spread it out on different units but when it’s going to be on only the southern units where all your family grew up hunting. Let’s see how many kids we can get involved in hunting with recurve and flintlocks. Never mind the rifles cause it already takes 5 years to draw those...

What about ranchers using public land for there finacial gain. I don't like hunting around cattle so we should just get rid of them as well.

Would you like to see units go to only recurve bows, flintlock muzzy and iron sight rifles. That will for sure kill less deer. Thats what is coming for some units this year in the November meetings.

Don't hope to much you might get more then you bargin for if you let legislation in on making decisions for the way we hunt wildlife. Just wait tell you see the RAC propossals for november that is being forced down from legislatures.

Thanks for the info. How is the resident deer population we arent afraid to put on some miles to find deer. This is his first deer hunt at 10 years old I think any 3 point or better that we see will be in trouble.

My son drew his first deer tag this year in 2B Oct. 21-25. Just wondering if anyone can give me insite on road conditions that time of year. How is it if it gets wet, what kind of road access with a truck or do i need to plan on taking a 4 wheeler. Thanks in advance.

It would help take give that many people tags. But last year alone there were 4700 new applicants that applied for LE Deer. I don’t think we should take away from the expo or conservation tags people buy. But to your point it would help would be if you buy or draw one of these tags that it burns...

How so if harvest success rates are lower due to shorter hunting dates or just tougher season dates it would be the same or less elk killed.

Couldn't agree more. Get the freakin hunts out of the rut. Give the elk a 10 day break from Sep. 20- Sep. 30 No hunts at all. Shorten other hunts we make these hunts so long that there is a 85-95% success shorten the hunts if you lower success to around 50-60% you can give out more tags for...

The number of conservation tags wouldn't even take out the top point group it would do nothing for point creep. I think a lot of people think there is more conservation tags then there are because a lot of the tags auctioned of are land owner tags not conservation tags.

except that are illegal in Alaska where it is probably far more dangerous then hunting in Utah.

except they didn't have scopes prior to 2016. Also, that vote goes up today with the muzzleloaders that are available and it never passes in the first place. That being said. If we just got ride of the range finder I think that would probably be far across the board for all weapon types.

yes

Funny how they post this and turn off the comments to there post. Guess there afraid of what most people are for with this ban.

St. George Utah Ill be heading to Salt lake in a few weeks if your up that direction.

Used but still in very good condition $2000 OBO.

Thing about this is the DWR is not proposing the restriction. It was proposed by a rac member and agreed by many of the public. There was also talk about some sort of limit on rifles but would need to be hashed out in another discussion.

Thanks. I sent you a PM.

Has anyone hunting 18 since the fire last year that is willing to share some info about conditions. I drew a 3rd season deer tag there and am just trying to find out as much about the current state before I head over. This is the first time hunting this area so I'm not sure of how many places...

Has anyone looked at what is list under night vision definition. They classify any infrared imaging as night vision. Maybe that's not there intention but that would mean that all cameras would fall under the definition of night vision and be illegal to use.

only for youth

Just last year they extended the anybull archery dates by 5 days to allow for a better chance of rut activity on that hunt. That came from one general public guy that went through the process to present his change.

So whats the diffence then a 12 year old kid that hasn't been able to apply for any points and it takes him 5 years to draw a tag. It seems only far that people with more points should give them up as well so a first timer has a chance the first year. No different then a LL holder. Bad move by...

I don't know about the what the state wide numbers are but the GS unit I hunt seen the muzzy harvest increased by 11% the first year scopes where allowed. following that year each year is still 7-9% higher then any pre powered scope years.

Just something to keep in mind as a non resident even if you apply as a group with a resident all the tags will come out of the non resident allotment. Currently it takes 5-6 points for either rifle hunt on pine valley. There is a high possibility that tags will be cut this year due to the...

I would expect there to be an increase in point creep the next couple years due to the dates rolling back. I know a guy that is applying for beaver archery next year that has 19 points. What every you expect on years to draw your tag I would add 1-2 years to account for point creep. Espically...

Its all about doing a little homework. Its very simple to just pick up the phone and call the biologist for the unit your putting in for. Usually they will have an estimate on what tags they are going to send to the RAC meetings. Even the big game coordinator for the state answered my emails and...

It is a preference system. Most likely had to do with group of 4 and probably less then 4 tags available when you ticket was pulled

It will go into effort for 2020 and future.

Just wanted to correct the lion tag motion. That was for the Mineral Moutains where the DWR just release 51 sheep after the lion WB meeting was already done and passed and they had 1 sheep killed by a lion the first couple weeks of the release. The RAC chair did say he would like to see more...

I am looking into switching over and trying the Valkyrie broadheads. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of them and how they have preformed. What the difference is between the different models.

My sister just got here card hit for Utah GS.
