1.Does nothing to increase the overall health of the deer herd. We should be addressing the issues as to why we have low fawn survival rates then worrying about our buck numbers in the herd.
2. Fewer hunters will be hunting with Option 2. You people who are in favor of option 2 will be standing around 3 to 8 years without a tag in your hands complaining why you cannot hunt in Utah anymore.
3. Its destroys hunting with families.
4. What has been said is that they are pushing for 18:100 ratios, this is partially true. If you read through it and have listening at the RACs, the proposal is actually for 18-25:100 ratio, which in my mind is a big difference and leaves too much grey for certain people to interpret and manipulate.
How many tags would be available statewide under 25:100? I'd say under 15000.
Any idea what the odds of drawing a tag would be under that scenario? I have an idea.
5. Increasing the buck/doe ratio isn't going to grow more bucks because fewer bucks will be born every year because fewer does= fewer fawns and LESS OPPORTUNITY.
6. It doesn't focus on habitat which should be one of our major concerns. Without good deer habitat we won't have a good deer herd.
