Yes utah opens that early. The biggest problem is the elk and deer both open that early. Its usually hotter than you want it to be and there is always some idiot screaming on his calls trying to Hear elk at noon on 85 degree blue sky days..... 3 idiots cost me a few bucks last year cuz they were just running around blowing calls and scaring everything off! Finally threatened to put those calls where farting would become bugle practice... Was watching one buck waiting for the winds to settle and here comes dumb dumb one bugling through the bottom of the canyons at noon, about 2 miles from the buck. Once he heard it he just walked over the ridge, he knew something was wrong........
