Utah changes affecting Deer Hunters

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Posted by admin

Utah has extended the application period to March 8 due to computer problems.

For 2010 Utah is not requiring archery hunters to choose a region.

A hunting license is required before you may apply to hunt deer via the draw. Ditto bonus and preference points.  The price for a non-resident license is $65.  The price for a general tag is $263. The price for limited entry is $463 and for premium limited entry – $563.

If you hunt deer you will probably be required to report online within 30 days. If you fail to do so, you will be assessed a $50 late fee the next time you apply.

Rifle deer hunts for 2010 are limited to five days, and in some cases three days.

Utah is making available permits called management buck permits to get rid of 3-points and under. Beware, you lose your bonus points on these hunts.

Wolf Hunt Swedish Style

Monday, February 15, 2010 Posted by admin

Wolves in Sweden have been protected for many years, but now the Swedes are getting a little less than happy with their wolves. The Swedish EPA ( no wildlife agency there ) wants to limit the number of wolves to no more than 210, so they allowed for 27 wolves to be harvested this year.

The wolves are eating things they shouldn’t and are habitating places they shouldn’t, DUH. When Norway recently announced a wolf hunt, Sweden opposed. They have since re-thought the matter.

Over 10,000 hunters registered to hunt. Hunters can only keep the hide and must turn the rest in within 24 hours of harvest.

Girls Can Do It

Saturday, December 19, 2009 Posted by admin

CAN YOU?

————————————-

Time was when most men hunted and few women were among the ranks. Today, male mule deer hunters are a minority – maybe 10-15% of the populace of any western state. Oddly, women mule deer hunters are on the increase. That is not to say that female hunters are plentiful. It should be noted that there are less than half the total number of mule deer hunters there were some twenty years ago. It is anyone’s guess as to the reason for increasing numbers of female hunters, but I welcome it. I don’t know which kind of woman appeals to me more, one driving a four wheel drive pickup or one posing with a trophy buck. Either way, I like both. Feast your eyes on these sights, gentlemen.
