Pnie Valley antelope

[Shummy]

Anyone hunted this unit? I've never hunted goats, but I live on this unit, and I see antelope from time to time.
I don't really care about size, but thought it might be fun to hunt them. Seems like an easy draw, if I remeber right it went undersubscibed a couple of years ago. I can't remember about last year.

supposed to say "Pine Valley"

It was my understanding that Utah antelope tags were hard to come by.

[Wiszard]

What part of the state are the prime areas? North East? or South east?

I recently seen some goats just north of Lund....outside of the unit :-(

 

[Shummy]

I think I'll try it anyway.

I had a neighbor that hunted it last year, but I'm sure they hunted on private property.

I have seen them on that unit between Beryl Juntion and Beryl. They will probably be concentrated on irrigated alfalfa fields, but there is some BLM there too. If you draw, you might try talking to landowners, or to the DWR depredation technician out of the Cedar office to see if they know of any landowners complaining about antelope that might let you hunt on their place. Good luck.
