If you plan to apply for a cow elk tag this year on Deseret CWMU, please be aware of the following changes.
The following is a PSA from DL&L and WCO regarding cow elk hunting for public draw hunters on the Deseret CWMU for 2014 and beyond.
In the past DLL has tried to assist/guided cow elk hunters to help them be as successful as they can in harvesting cow elk. However, due to public concerns and complaints on the methods employed by DLL to harvest these animals, DLL will no longer be guiding or assisting public cow elk hunters free of charge. Cow elk hunters can choose to hire a guide or go at it on their own and have a do it yourself type of (DYI) experience (see options below). PLEASE NOTE, in the past, guided hunters have been nearly 100% successful in taking a cow elk on DLL, we anticipate non-guided hunters to be less than 50% successful in their harvest efforts.
Non-guided cow elk hunting:
Non-guided hunts will be difficult, likely involve strenuous hiking, and packing out of a cow. THIS IS NOT A HUNT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT OF SHAPE AND HOPE TO KILL AN ANIMAL FROM THEIR VEHICLE. NO ATVs, HORSES or other vehicles will be allowed to assist in the hunting/taking of the cow elk. NO ATVs, HORSES, or other vehicles will be allowed off road by public hunters to retrieve animals. You are allowed to bring one guest with you or party/group applicants to assist you in your hunt.
As a non-guided cow elk hunter, you will be assigned one of the following 2 day blocks. We ask that you pick your top 3 choices. We will be allowing 20-25 hunters per block to hunt their cow elk. The dates will be selected on a first come first serve basis. There will be 5 date choices, and each hunter will be able to select their top 3 choices the choices are listed below:
-November 14th?15th
-November 17th?18th
-November 21st?22nd
-November 24th?25th
-November 28th?29th
Guided cow elk hunting:
These are 2/1 guided hunts and the price does not include meals during the day or lodging at night. No meals or lodging are provided by the ranch for cow elk hunters. Cow elk hunters will ride with the guide in their (the guides) vehicle while on the ranch. The guide will accompany the hunter(s) at all times while they attempt to harvest the elk. The guide will be responsible to find the elk, field dress the elk, pack out, and transport the elk back to the hunters vehicles. NO GUEST are allowed on these guided hunts unless the hunter(s) are youth, female, and/or handicapped hunters.
If you draw and would like a guided cow hunt please call. PLEASE NOTE, If you wound/hit an animal on your first day it will be determined by the outfitter if you can come back a second day to track your animal. The guided trip DOES NOT guarantee a harvested animal.
If you have any further questions, you are welcome to contact the operator listed in the antlerless proclamation
