Just for fun, can someone do the math and tell us all how much point creep would be reduced if the minimum age was fourteen? I know it is unthinkable!!! My guess is five to ten years. Twelve and thirteen year olds can stay entertained in the fall by hunting waterfowl, upland game, fishing...

It wouldn’t be the end of the world if Utah and other states raised the minimum age to fourteen.

I was thinking around 9000 was the highest around the salt lake area on the south slopes. But it’s just a wild guess

I’ll say it again!!’ I am just razzin Deadi and EA Were you two for all random back then? What was your position at that time?

I agree on this one. I don’t recall seeing it up too high in elevation. Maybe Elkassassin can clarify on this one?

I don’t see that buck feeding on that dried out stuff. Just sayin.

It works out fine if you can horses**t out and draw a random along the way. I got lucky once in my lifetime and drew a random moose tag with seven points and then horsesh**ted out even more with the moose I shot. I should draw a second oil tag in the next year or two if nothing changes...

So just to clarify, you were all for random at that time?

Cape Buffalo 0 points Greater Kudu 0 points Oryx 0 points Limpopo bushbuck 0 points 100% draw odds, I like my chances. I just hope they don’t release them from the horse trailer an hour before I get there

Do you attribute this to winterkill? It is very disheartening that our goat herds are not growing by 5 to 15% every year resulting in two or three more tags each year.

Please, please don’t change the season dates!!! I am begging you!!! The only thing that should be under consideration is combining points and making the extended archery a separate hunt that costs points to draw. Option A for LL sounds reasonable.

Combining points is not a bad idea. Tampering with season dates IS a bad idea. Here is why: Take any five day hunt and add two or three days of bad weather and you are screwed. Making the extended archery hunts unlimited is a TERRIBLE idea. Here is why: The Wasatch for example has been...

That might not be a bad idea. Would everyone get a second, third, fourth, and fifth choice? What about the LL holders? Full refund plus an extra five points? Elkster, you wanted a proposal from Vanilla, I think this is it

This is a very good point!!! You cannot have a healthy deer herd without different age classes of bucks!!! If you wanted to end up with even one three year old and one four year old buck after hunting season you would probably need a minimum of twenty bucks per hundred does. You can’t manage...

Other than their theory that lower b/d ratio equals more deer, I found their research and data to be accurate and 100% believable. I am glad they are taking a hard look at elk vs deer conflicts. With the summer range projects I would encourage all to get in, do the work and get out. There is...
