Utah Legislature trying to further privatize elk

[Aperventure]

Nothing really new or groundbreaking here in Utah, but looks lik they are making elk hunting worse, not better, unless you can buy landowner voucher. They are trying to reduce number of publicly available limited entry tags as there is current Utah legislature sponsored by Rep Carl Albrect D70 desires to take tags from public draw limited entry units and give 2 of them to landowners with over 4000 acres. And then make it legal to sell them in addition to the already allocated landowner tag draw (over and above public draw)

Everyone knows that hunting Utah as a non resident was tough, but hunting as a resident is getting tougher

Looks like some politician is paying for his campaign contribution. He certainly is not working for the people that voted him in.

Sounds like we should start a land buying co-op in Utah.
