I just went back and scanned the archery requirements for big game in the Utah 2018 guidebook. It says 30lb minimum pull weight for big game. I called DWR thinking this was a typo and they confirmed 30lbs.
I must have fallen asleep at the wheel because it used to be 40lbs. When was this change made? I don't have a lot of confidence in the guy I talked to at DWR, he said it's 30lbs because that's what he read also. He couldn't tell me when it was changed or any other info.
If 30 is indeed legal, why stop there? I might take my 5 year old and let him use his nerf gun. I realize 30 can get it done on a deer, close up, under ideal conditions, like 20 yards away in a blind.
