The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is once again recommending a decrease in the number of general-season deer hunting permits
SALT LAKE CITY — For the fifth consecutive year, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is recommending a decrease in the number of general-season deer hunting permits, but is seeking public feedback on this and other hunting recommendations starting April 4.
"The most important factors that drive deer population numbers are the survival rates of doe deer, fawn production and fawn survival after the winter. The way we hunt buck deer in Utah doesn’t drive deer populations, but what happens with deer populations drives how we hunt buck deer.”“For several years, we have had more demand for deer hunting in Utah than we have the supply for,” Mangus said.
DWR has several other proposals, including a ban on attaching electronics in essentially any type of hunting weapon.
