Any interesting hunting-related bills during this session we should be watching? The only one I see is HB222 that would change the hunter orange requirement to include only one article of clothing (hat, vest, shirt) instead of the current 400 square inches requirement.
 
It should mirror wyomings law on orange. It’s a good idea for hunters to be wearing some kind of orange. I think the 400” to satisfy Utahs requirement is a little much.

Side note: I’ve never seen so many hunters throughout different rifle hunt types completely ignoring the hunter orange laws as I have this year. Pretty amazing honestly. I saw people almost every day I was out on the weekends packing rifles, head to toe in camo, not an ounce of orange to be seen anywhere on them.
 
On Alot Of The LE Elk Rifle Hunts I Rarely See Any Of Them Wearing Any Orange!

If You Didn't Know Better You'd Think It Was Archery/MUZZ Season Going On!

It Doesn't Really Bother A Guy Too Much Until You Hear Some DRAT Say:

I Thought I Seen Movement So I Cracked One Off!

The One That Sticks Out In My Mind Is This One:

When They Let Hunters Start Shooting Cow Elk On The General MUZZ Deer Hunt!

I Seen A Guy & His Wife/Girlfriend/Daughter Up On The Hillside & She Was Staying A Ways Back Behind Him & She Had A Full Body Cow Elk Silhouette She Was Concealing Herself With!

JUDAS!

F'N!

PRIEST!

Just When You Think You've Seen It All A DRAT Will Prove You Wrong Again!

That Deal Still Bothers Me!

I've decided I'm not a fan of Rep. Chew. He just introduced a substitute bill for the hunter orange requirement which would keep the 400 square inch requirement (it hasn't been adopted yet). As I recall, he was also the one that introduced the ill-advised bill in support of the Diamond Mountain landowners last year. Two thumbs down for me.
 
What a dingleberry. He proposes going from being moderately less restrictive in the original bill to much more restrictive than current law in his substitute.

Maybe bessy can lead a committee? This type of thing is right up his alley on what he thinks will save the mule deer. What you wear definitely impacts herd biology in his mind.
 
Hey Nillert!

I Don't Care What You Wear!

I Don't Wanna See Your Kuiu Camo Loin Cloth!

But If You Wanna Wear It,Get It Done & Quit Whining About A PUMPKIN Suit!

I dunno man, all the best dirt nap dealers in the state have kuiu or Sitka on head, to toe. I don’t think it’s coincidence! Deer don’t stand a chance when you put that stuff on and hit the hills.

I know wearing Simms waders increases catch rate in fish 27.3% all by itself. Scientifically proven!

I had a theory about Kuiu doing the same, but if that’s the case, I’d hate to see what my successes rate is not wearing it. :ROFLMAO:

And, he just voted against the resolution to bring major league baseball to Utah. I mean, really, how lame can you be?
 
Q. With the millions or billions of surplus revenue, has anyone in the legislature ever considered reducing a gas tax or property tax at the state or local level?

A. Heck no!!! They never met a gas tax or property tax they didn’t like. I have never heard it even discussed. Instead they save me $5 in income taxes and claim to be generous with tax cuts.
