LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-05 AT 01:52PM (MST)[p]Since we're all being so civil discussing landowner and conservation tag issues I'm gonna throw this out on the table.
Everybody is complaining about lost opportunity. Nonresidents draw too many tags in some states, residents draw too many tags in others, etc, etc....
And we're all getting the shaft when it comes to the ever growing price of hunting.
Well, as a Utah resident that can only apply for ONE regular species (deer, elk, antelope) per year, and one once in a lifetime species (moose, sheep, goat) per year. I want to complain!
You boys in other states (with the exception of Idaho) that can apply for everything you want to should thank your lucky starts.
I've been applying for elk in Utah for the past 11 years. Guess what, during that time I haven't been able to apply for deer or antelope-IN MY OWN FREAKING state. So guess how many points I have for them-NADDA!
By the time I do draw my elk tag and enter the draws for deer, I'm gonna be so far back that my limited entry elk may be a once in a lifetime hunt.
Atlease you'll have one once in a lifetime elk, deer, and antelope hunts-if not several of them!
And ontop of that if I ever do draw my moose in Utah which statistically I may not, there's a snowballs chance in "heck" that I'll draw a sheep or goat before I start pushing daisies!
So as a Utah resident that is watching all of the rich wealthy boys (must be from Colorado) come into Utah and buy up my Utahn born and raised elk, deer, antelope, and everything else we sell tags for. I say BAAAAH HUMMMM BUG!
Merry Christmas
