Two of us made the trip from Arizona to Utah to see how the new units would affect the hunting pressure and to see how the deer herd was doing. It had been 20 years since hunting in Utah for the general rifle deer hunt. There was so much orange last time I was there I moved on and have not been back. We hunted the first two days of the hunt in the Beaver unit. We saw 20 bucks, and nothing over 140? small four point bucks. Is this typical? I was surprised that we didn't see better bucks. It was warm and with a storm rolling in we thought it would be better to head home and maybe go back for the last few days of the hunt, hoping that maybe the hunt would get better.
My question to all of you guys that hunt Utah and this area, is the lack of quality bucks typical?
Will the coming storm make any difference in the unit for the last few days of the hunt?
Maybe it will take another 3-5 years for the new unit system to help out the quality?
Your thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks
