Likely none offered or the landowners took them. There was one tag in the Special NR draw offered in 2024 so no random tags.

At least your kid will likely have a shot at a tag at age 60. If it were completely random then odds are they would never draw a random tag with 1 in 2000 odds. The funding these points generate help keep your resident hunting prices much lower. Want to pay $500 to go elk hunting as a resident?

Bye…..

NR need to learn how to trade hunt services as the statute allows for you trading guide services. “An exchange of guide services shall not be considered compensation for the purposes of this section.”. Fishing, hunting or anything where a Guide would be beneficial can be exchanged in exchange...

Now you are getting it, unlike earlier posts, Utah is certainly NOT a preference point state for NR sheep and many other OIL Hunts.

No, the residents of Wyoming took back what was far too generous for decades and fixed it. “And yes, for Rams & mountain goat, the preference tags ("bonus permits") have not happened at all in recent years. Only the regular permits (awarded simple bonus style) have been awarded. But when a 2nd...

In other words, Utah uses a bonus/random system for all Sheep hunts. No preference at all for top point holders and rare that anyone with more than 20 points ever even draws a OIL tag. A few years ago a greenhorn drew with ZERO points and last year one applicant only had 4 points drew a Desert...

Utah had 5 total NR hunters who were awarded Desert Sheep. Not a single top point holder or even anyone with 20 points or greater was awarded a tag even though 12 applicants now have 29 points. Utah certainly does not utilize a preference point system in any way, shape or form when it comes...

Your trying to change how states operate their point systems is becoming ever more clear. Utah has NO PREFERENCE POINT system on any LE or OIL hunts. The only system they use a Preference point system is for General Buck deer. Trying to redefine and fantasize about how states should operate...

Utah only has a bonus point for most hunts including all OIL Hunts. For General Deer only they use a preference point system.

You have it backwards for Utah. Most OIL hunts in Utah only issue one tag and it is usually issued in the random draw. Many times a greenhorn with no points draws while bonus point holders are passed by the random applicant. This sucks as when they only have 1 permit offered which is the...

Colorado CPW awards preference points by species. When you don't draw your first hunt choice, you automatically earn a preference point, https://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/BigGameLicenseOptions.aspx

Ewe tags have much greater odds of drawing.

“Is it just a ewe tag” Answer, Yes

If you get early weather then 45 is best. Those deer are highly migratory and move into the desert country with first big snowstorm of the year. If you get up into the high country in 44 some good bucks up there and some good white tails in 44 on private mostly.

Yes it’s a ewe sheep hunt.

10 mild winters in a row, short seasons.

Did you find Jesus and now want to share....

There’s new research demonstrating how some wild deer may have developed immunity. All deer can develop CWD, but their particular genetic makeup determines how likely it is they will become infected and how long they survive before succumbing to CWD...

Now that’s what I call eyeguards……Congrats…..

Ever hear of migration and movement. The Unitas to NSL is a lot closer than you suggest. In Idaho we have CWD jumping large areas then appearing in new unknown regions which never had it before. Many of the deer along the way may be somewhat naturally immune as new research suggests. This is...

I heard it on the View. Must be true.

There might be a few other factors affecting that ranch ie drought, over harvesting, predators, bad winters, explosion in elk numbers, over grazing, etc. At least at your current trend you won’t have any CWD soon as there won’t be any deer remaining.

Hunters Must Purchase Wyoming Preference Points July 3 – October 31 As a reminder, Wyoming does NOT provide the option to automatically purchase a point if you are unsuccessful in the license draw. Whether or not you applied in the draw, you’ll need to visit the Wyoming Department of Game and...

China might be interested in the meat…….https://rtfitchauthor.com/2017/04/29/from-the-land-down-under-china-wants-our-donkeys-dead-or-alive/

As if points have anything to do with age class. The reason Texas pursued it as it kept a lot of 2X2 and 2X3 bucks which were mature 22+ inch bucks that were passing on inferior genes. I won’t argue whether that’s true or not but the biologists in Texas thought so and I saw it in Utah back in...

The Australian government plans to kill wild horses by shooting them from the air. "There are simply too many wild horses in Kosciuszko National Park," an environment official said. About 19,000 wild horses live in the park...

Texas did some research and settled on an antler spread limitation ie the bucks had to be a minimum width. You could do the same with mule deer just make it like a 24 inch minimum spread. This stops some of those genetic inferior big 2X2 and 3X3 deer from doing all the breeding thus passing n...

14 7/8 length, 4 4/8 prong, Base 6 1/8, 1st quarter 6 3/8, 2nd quarter 3 7/8, 3rd quarter 2 6/8, = 38 4/8 x 2 = 77

I wouldn’t hunt with him in that area. Whitetail numbers are decent but best Muley hunting would be archery hunting in the wilderness area as there are always a few good bucks in the high country but they drop down in October rarely seen again during rifle hunting. Best whitetail hunting is...

One bad thing about that area is the big HMA is only for elk and antelope. Any public you can access from a public road you could hunt but much of the HMA you can’t hunt. I cow elk hunted it 2 years ago in November and it was Crowded to say the least but I did see a few decent bucks though...

Many of those corners have no fences, just a survey marker and many aren’t even marked. This is Not something just any Boy Scout should be involved with but those competent with OnX could certainly find the corner but if they screw up it might result in unfavorable outcome. This is best left to...

Area 125 elk permits will now take 10+ Preference points. I wish the Judge would have released the decision last January.:oops:. The Missouri boyz should be given free elk permits this year.

Please steer clear of Western 1/3 of Wyoming. Not very many elk left in there anymore anyways and the Grizzly have overrun most of it and much of it is Wilderness. Besides, with the bad winter many of the elk winter killed and I’m sure the mosquitoes will be terrible this year. In all fairness...

If you go back and watch the progression of CWD in Colorado it was sporadic at first and would appear in one drainage then show up 60 miles away in a completely distinct drainage. Some of it may have been around for awhile and they just hadn’t tested enough in those early days. My bet would be...

Definitely was poached. https://mybighornbasin.com/wy-game-and-fish-investigating-gunshot-grizzly/#:~:text=Written%20by%20Andrew%2DRossi%20on,as%20a%20case%20of%20poaching.

IDFG designated those areas as CWD designated areas. If you don’t like it, argue with them. The point of the map is a logical progression of CWD moving from infected areas to the East and then slowly progressing Westward. If I were in Oregon and Washington I’d be worried at this point as...
