A bunch of the state used to be 3 point or better. They found that it was not all that uncommon to find small forks that people would shoot...and leave because they were too small. The only buck this state protects are spikes. Unfortunately studies show that spikes are actually a genetically inferior deer. I would like to see the state go to visible horns like most other states. You want more deer....Fires and predator control is what we need. Utah started a bounty program on coyotes and I saw a statistic in which the deer population was up something like 30% is some areas. Add something like an additional $5 fee to every license sold...and then start a bounty on coyotes, and it would probably be shocking how fast the deer numbers increase in some areas. Cats, wolves and bears are another subject!
