First off - Monroe, elimanating spike elk rifle hunting..
Page 1, item 3,
3. In May 2013, the Wildlife Board gave the Southern Region and action log item to determine if the Monroe
unit required a different hunting strategy for spike elk. The region met with local sportsmen to discuss the
issue this fall. As a result, we recommend eliminating the any weapon portion of spike elk hunting on the
Monroe unit until the statewide elk plan is approved (roughly 2 years).
Other items:
inclluded are exsanding units for potentional deer trasplants.
recommend allowing archery hunting of big game on select Waterfowl Management Areas
recommend splitting the Book Cliffs LE deer hunt into north and south units during the any weapon
hunt. This is to address discrepancies in buck to doe ratios in the north and south portions of the Book
Cliffs.
recommend removing bull elk from the Sanpete Valley Extended Archery elk hunt
recommend adding a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep hunt for units 16A and 17A (Wasatch, West and
Central Mtns, Nebo).
Just a heads up and a link to the full packet:

Any thoughts?--------Quite a few changes proposed for 2014!
