Destroyer, I don't care what a land owner does with his land, he payed for it, this is America. The DWR is a government agency, they are different. Mr. Peay said so himself, the state gets the tag fee, so on that $15,0000 elk on Deseret the state gets $280. The LE tag I draw, the state gets $280. The hunter on Deseret can hunt anytime from Sept. 1 to Nov. 11. (rifle), I get 2 weekends. Lets pretend I own 100,000 acres and I let anyone and everyone hunt my land, I still get 2 weekends, if I lock the gate, I get liberal seasons, guaranteed tags, free advertisement(proclamation) for doing so. My land is techincally a commericial buisness but I can pay taxes as if its range land or in the green belt. The states conflict of interest is right in the proclamation page 32, right after the description of CWMU's they have a box about walk-in access. Their is a financial incentive created by the state in the form of CWMU's to lock up you land. Without the CWMU the landowner could sell tresspass permits, lock their gates, or join the access program. Without guaranteed tags, and with the same seasons as everyone else the financial incentive would be to get the payment from the state to allow access vs. gambling that you could sell trespass permits. South Dakota and their access for pheasant hunting is the example that Utah should be following. South Dakota gets the license fee, but the state also greatly benefits from the hunting tourists dollars, creating more money to pay for access, creating more dollars, so on and so forth. CWMUs in this state get 3,000 tags, roughly 14% or about 450 go to the public. While that is fine, I would argue that with a financial incentive to allow access there would be more than 450 hunters allowed on private land. You don't get a special line at the DMV if you own a fleet of cars to renew you drivers license, why do you get special rules and regs if you own land? The DWR and DMV are government agencies.
As for DIY, i personally don't like to be told where to go, how to do it, when and where to shoot etc., if you do fine, that is a personal deal, to each there own.
