UTAH is almost DUE!
« on: February 25, 2022, 05:55:51 PM »
Going in with 13 pts  for everything in UTAH, seems like no man land once again. I think I am gonna start cashing out pts and trying to get some good to average hunts because point creep across the west is real and chasing great hunts is all but over.

This is one of the reasons I’m switching to mostly bird hunting.

It's not just point creep for me. The "good" hunts are overhyped. I have had the best success on "marginal" hunts.

I tend to agree with you. Cost is another big reason for me.

I am planning to put in. Just waiting a few more days. Your hunting license is good for 365 days & if you time it right you only need to buy a hunting license every other yr. If you get lucky & draw, you will need to have a hunting license for the current yr though.

I think there is a huge bubble of guys with 13 pts. I think that is when they changed the appl process so you could apply for 3 species instead of only one so a bunch of guys jumped in. I'm also in this group for Elk/Antelope. There's always the bonus point draw.

That's my take anyhow. Good luck!

Won’t work this time around. They’re moving the draw to April/May next year.

Getting drawn in Utah is like a lightning strike or maybe a July snow storm in Phoenix.  In as well but zero expectations!  Utah is a true lotto.

The creep is real. Put in for hunts that take 2 or 3 points less to draw than last year and you might have a chance.

Anybody think there is a possibility the current state of the economy lessens demand? I mean inflation is off the charts and everybody seemingly has just a little less to spend

Nope, it will probably make some double down as they are thinking the same way you are. The number of hunters is up across the west and point creep will continue this year. Most of us that are applying for these hunts aren't living paycheck to paycheck, so I think it will have little to no impact on the number of people who apply. :twocents:
