The following info was taking from the DWR records and the WAFWA records. These are actual and factual numbers. You decide for yourself what they mean.
1983 360,000 deer in utah
1983 228,907 buck tags in Utah
1983 82,552 bucks killed in Utah
1993 240,000 deer in Utah
1993 140,701 buck tags in Utah
1993 24,763 bucks killed in Utah
2003 270,000 deer in Utah
2003 97,000 buck tags in Utah
2003 25000 bucks killed in Utah
2009 302,000 deer in Utah
2009 94,000 buck tags in Utah
2009 23,000 bucks killed in Utah
1970's Utahs deer popultaion was in its hayday
1970's Utah had less then 5,000 elk
1983 23,000 elk in Utah
1993 58,000 elk in Utah
2003 58,000 elk in Utah
2009 68,000 elk in Utah
These numbers indicate that ever since elk boomed the deer collapsed and has never rebounded.
These numbers also indicate that cutting hunters does not decrease bucks killed.
Again these are not my numbers these are the DWR's numbers.
Utah has killed more lions than any other state
Utah has killed my coyotes than any other state
Utah has done more habitat than all the western states combined
Utah has fenced Highways and built deer under crossings
Utah has cut 134,907 hunters out of deer hunting since 1983
Utah has made tough poaching laws and party hunting laws
The only thing Utah has not looked at is the impact elk may or may not have on deer.
Don't you think that is a study that is long over due?
You draw your own conclusion.....
