I am bringing this discussion over from another board
but the new proposal for Utah Limited Entry is a huge loss for bowhunters in Utah.
What has been proposed by the DWR and a prominent sportsmens group is as follows. Do away with AR-301
A split of all LTD elk tags in the following ratio's
65% Rifle
25% archery
10% muzzleloader
With no harvest percentage data taken into effect bowhunters would recieve their tags based on 100% success ratio's as is the current proposal
Typically the complaint about this hunt from non bowhunters is no Bonus point or waiting period restrictions, after some thought I can't say that I disagree with this complaint anymore as I did in the past.
With some minor tweaking ( perhaps bonus points and a shorter
waiting period addition ) there is no reason to lose this opportunity,
Under the current proposal the any weapon LTD elk draw
will see a substantial increase in drawing odds. The ltd entry archery draw for the units such as Manti Wasatch Cache and Dutton would go as high as any weapon tags.
Please contact your regional UBA rep and express your wishes
