Tomorrow is the deadline to put in for big game draw. I could only pick deer because of the time I have off. I didn't do my research ahead of time and picked one unit with .03
chance of getting a tag and then as a back up I picked the most deer free crap unit, Beaver.

I did somehow get a late season elk tag last year but couldn't go

Plenty of deer tags in NYS!

Utah DWR has done it's very best to decimate the deer herd especially here in Southern Utah.

Mule deer are in decline everywhere.

I think they look down from the hills and see all those new subdivisions and they just feel too sick to breed.

I guess I take that back. I saw a bunch of deer near beaver in the mountains but that's all small copses of trees and open plains. That might be pretty exciting during deer season since all that area is accessible by dirt roads you could drive a Corolla on

Yeah.

You’re gonna need boots, a backpack, decent binos, a tripod (or monopod) and motivation.

If you’re hunting an area that a new guy from New York can find, you’re in the wrong area. This produces some challenges, for you, being a new guy from New York, but you’ll just need to try harder.

You aren’t far from the best mule deer areas in the world.

A tag might be challenging however.

I fully expect mule deer to become a "threatened species" in my lifetime.
Hence my motivation to kill a fine example before they are not huntable.

Beaver only has something like a 44% success rate, so the local boys from the closed pig rendering plant aren't exactly bowling them over either. Too bad to as they probably need the meat unless they got a job in tourism. There's a formerly closed ski mountain that's reopened and a bunch of fancy ski chateaus being built

The tags Utah seems to be willing to hand out are in irradiated deserts or surrounded by angry Indians and private land patrolled by murderous cowboys

44% is a reasonable success rate. It’s not back east where you sit in a tree on ten acres and wait for the whitetails to show up to the corn feeder.

I’m sure “ski chateaus” are just what the area needs.

Our draw results don’t come out till June.
I’d like to say Colorado just got stoned and “spaced it out”, but it’s been that way forever here.
They claim they want to be able to get herd estimates, factor in winter kill, all that, before deciding how many tags to issue.
 Meanwhile half the state can be hunted by an unlimited number of rifle tags, no draw needed.

Yeah you really should be in the point game.  Pretty cheap for a resident.
Over here the non resi have to buy a small game tag just for the privilege of applying for big game lol.  It’s about 100 bucks just to apply, win or lose.  But then they get a point, or some just apply for the point and try to gain enough points to get a decent tag.  The best units take 20+ years to draw.  What a $ maker.

The spirit of a properly done western deer hunt is not the same as doing what sounds basically like suburban pest control for the state.

Those hunts would make me feel like I should be able to submit a time card for my hours at the end of the hunt.

You can walk five miles around your car before going the 100 yards from the parking lot to your tree if you want. But the other hunters will think you're weird and take your picture.
