Not trying to start an argument. Just curious if some of Utah’s hunt have become too easy. Antelope island is the biggest example; and has already been discussed in that way, but what about some other LE archery deer. Seems to be in some instances.
Places like the Henry’s, Paunsagut, and even San Juan. Hunters talk about driving around spotting a big buck and climbing out and making a successful stalk. Even after the deer knows they are there.
Dont get me wrong, I would gladly take any of those tags if drawn, but are we really hunting those units enough if they are as easy as I have heard some to be? Sure, everyone doesn’t want to lower the quality, but some seem as easy as hunting over bait. And that with the shortest range legal weapon we have.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe have just read threads which make them sound easier than they really are. But if some are that easy, wouldn’t make sense to increase archery tags a bit to get deer more afraid of hunters?
Again, I’m an outsider and don’t really know the dynamics like residents do, but just seems pretty easy if you can shoot a bow well. So if I’m wrong, school me
