They did increase tags down south last year. It wasn't as much as they initially planned so they cut it back and compromised. Also, I don't think anyone thinks there should be tag increases on the cache. It was slammed by the winter of 22-23. Just ask @Travis Hobbs he knows that unit well.
Well said Travis, that's what I was saying in my earlier post. Cutting tags is obviously not the answer. I use to think it was, but if you keep an open-minded and do your research it's obvious that it's not the answer.
Hmmmm, the cutting tags mentality is not the answer. I was all for it but it's obvious it's not the answer. If you feel it is, do some more research, you might change your mind.
I just listened to a podcast with Brock McMillan. He's a research professor at BYU and knows a ton about elk and deer behavior. I will say, I am very very impressed with the Utah dwr and thankful that I am a resident of Utah. Just wanted to give Utah DWR shout out on here!
