Well, couldn’t stand the wait and called Utah. Goat permit it is! I’m very excited. I’ve never had a goat tag but helped a good friend on a Utah goat hunt during 2011. It will be awesome to go back with a tag in my pocket!
I can’t fault this logic. If only I had managed to get under their skin that match. I wish I had that large of a footprint.
But do you think they need a judge? Wouldn’t they just call down to their wholly owned subsidiary, DWR, and tell them to jerk my tag?
My point being that it is absurd for nonresidents to have an advantage over residents. Especially nonresident youth over resident youth. Say your dad or mom is obsessed by moose and sends you down the moose path. Then you become obsessed by desert sheep at 20 years old when you are 10 pts into...
I understand that thought but I think it’s speaks to one of the many failures of points more than anything. A kid in UT basically has to decide at a very young age which of the OIL species they are going strive for. Regardless, my kids being nonresidents never had to have that decision made for...
Utah only allows nonresidents to apply for more than one once in a lifetime hunt. Utah residents can only apply for one of Rocky Mtn Bighorn, Desert Bighorn, Moose, Goat, or Bison. How this came to be and why Utahans haven’t burned down their DWR and their commission over it has always been a...
Has anyone received an email notice of a successful once-in-a-lifetime (OIL) tag draw? (Or heard of anyone receiving a OIL success email). Seems like only successful deer and elk and unsuccessful OIL email notices have been sent?
I was charged the $2,200 NR OIL fee but am dying to find out if...
How about $7500 and really weed out the riff raff? Nonrefundable hunting application fees continually get more expensive on an inflation adjusted basis. I don’t think this is a good thing for public hunting.
A note about why this bill is so long. It is because the name of the Department of Game and Fish is being changed. Wherever the name of the Department exists in the chapter of the wildlife statute (Chapter 17) has to be cited.
A way to zip through the bill fairly quickly and find changes is to...
On face value what you say seems true. But as someone that has been deeply involved, and almost entirely unsuccessful, in trying to scale back privatization of our hunting opportunity in NM I know that the sad fact is that the average hunter and our hunting opportunity are tangential...
