nebo, where does Utah issue antlerless tags just for revenue? If there are areas under objective it is due to limits from habitat, or depredation, or BOTH. Start issuing MORE LE bull tags, which sell for $280.00, and FEWER antlerless tags, which sell for $45.00, and we would have higher recruitment each year, MORE money brought in which helps improve habitat. The DWR does NOT issue cow tags for the money, that is pure BS! ON a given unit the DWR MUST kill a certain number of elk, bulls/cows, to keep herds in check. If sportsmen won't allow more bulls to be killed, then more cows MUST be killed. When we as sportsmen start letting the DWR do their job we will see better balanced, and more healthy herds, which equates to MORE opportunity!
