Grew up in Utah. First deer hunt in the mid fifties. Didn't ask people if they were going hunting, just asked where they were going hunting. Biggest vacation week of the year, took years of seniority at many companies to get the deer hunt week off. Either sex otc tags, with many extra hunt tags available. Problem was they just plain over hunted many herds. Paid a heavy price on the herds before they finally cracked down on the either sex and special.hunt tags.Way different now, draw only has pretty much done away with the big family tent camps you used to see, less hunters now even with the population tripled in the state. Miss the excitement of the old days, and miss seeing the big herds you used to encounter.
