CWMU pushing animals...Really??

[tallbuck1]

Question: How often do guides and landowners push elk and or deer from public land back onto their CWMU? Is this a popular activity?


The reason I ask is my buddy has video from last week of a couple of guys on side by sides up on the Wasatch unit pushing over 200 head of elk. They were causing quite a scene and drawing alot of attention to themselves by shooting guns and yelling at the bottom of a few canyons on public land to drive the elk back across a fence to a CWMU.

I told him to call the DWR, and he has an appointment today with the CO, but how often does this happen and what would or is the punishment?

If he has video, I hope they get slammed. They Should loose the CWMU and get fined for harassing wildlife,

They make money doing it, so I would guess as much as they can.
Look at it like this that bull is worth $5000 if it shot on the CWMU so you if you can just nudge it over the fence a little WOULD you. You try and make as money as you can from your business and that is what a CWMU is a business.

If I had a big buck 100yds on the wrong side of the road, wrong unit, I would send someone to walk around it and see if it would spook across the road. They would just be out on a walk looking for sheds or something and happen to run onto a deer. I see no problem with that. Now shooting guns, and doing it in multiple canyons seems way to much.

It happens all the time and is one of the biggest reasons I think CWMU should be done away with. In my opinion UT is the most crooked state in the west when it comes to croney big money wildlife management.

That is a very different scenario then what was alegedly seen by the OP's friend. This is a distinct effort to harrass wildlife and to restrict the regular hunter from having an opportunity to hunt the wildlife.

NO IT NOT FINE, Just letting everyone know that "money talk$ and Bullshit walks" as long as they have CWMU it will be a problem.
Just pointing out that a elk is worth more on a CWMU then the other side of the fence. $$$$$$$$$$$

I'd really like to see the video! I moved here a year ago and now it has REALLY become apparant how crooked things are with respect to wildlife management. I knew it was beforehand but not this bad.

 

[buttshot]

I'd like to view that video as well, got a link?
Frickin CWMU's, that is bullshite!

 

[8mmMag]

Welcome to Utah Big Game Money,....I mean hunting, sorry that slipped)))

 

[8mmMag]

For some, but not all. CWMU stands for "do as I say", not as we do!! It must be nice to have a private play ground, make your own rules,...bend the rules when needed. "Money can buy you Love, or at least a 30" Buck!! and a 6x6 Bull!!

 

[riflescope]

Yeah, lets see that link. That's something I'd like to see.

 

[mjd12]

doesn't surprise me at all. especially in the wasatch unit. We've had the CWMU operators yell at us for driving on public roads close to their property. They run hundreds and hundreds of cows on public land yet you never see the cows on their own land? crooks....
