Utah Elk with 4 points

upmuley · Nov 17, 2007

Is it worth staying in? I am 34 and live east of the Miss and probably will not hunt Utah in the next few years unless I draw an LE tag. Having to now put up for the license first is it a waste of my money?

If you ever want to kill a monster Bull on public ground then keep sending the money......

Yep, waste of money

?Here?s to the hero's that Git-R-Done!!?

Just plan on living at least to your 50 years old to draw a LE tag. Still worth it or at least thats what I tell myself.

I just keep donating for the points, i've only got 8. Getting closer!!! worth it??? , i think so. I get to hunt a general unit til i do put in for the draw

keep putting in or you've wasted the 4 years that you have.Up your odds with a muzzey tag in 4 years?

Unless your content with hunting "pisscutters" then you have to play the game no matter what state you apply for. Utah is by far one of the cheapest.

It's always an adventure!!!

Its still cheaper than Az, Nv, and Idaho all wanting $150 or so..

Every year people with 0 or 2,3 points draw so dont give up hope..look at all the 14yo that draw the first year they put in...heck I wonder if I say Im a 14yo girl I will draw my Moose tag??

AWHOLELOTTABULL · Nov 18, 2007

It doesn't work nochawk. My 15 year old has put in for moose and elk for the last 2 years and so far she is a successful at being unsuccessful.

It's always an adventure!!!

I say if you can afford it , keep putting in. I lost 4 points in AZ when I had my new house built and it hurts , even more so that they increased the gen hunt fee.....Somebodys got draw right?

With Utah's current system, there is always a chance to draw but if you look at the odds and point bracket you are in, form a statistical stand point,--you really are are out of the race and have a very slim chance to draw in the next 15-20 years.

You would be much better off taking the money spent on the license putting it and another $900.00 bucks a year into a 15 year CD draw a bit of interest and come hunt on of Utah's CWMUs in 15 years (if they are still around by then). For 10-15k you can hunt some of the better units and have a real chance to harvest a 350+ bull given status quo.
