I remember it being 17,000 for Rifle, but that's just from memory.

Would need to research to confirm.

Not sure where you got your numbers?

But here is the link to the PDF numbers...

http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/hunting/2007permits/summary.pdf

16,200 Resident
1,800 Non-Res

so 18,000 Total tags, but I assume this is not just RIFLE like I stated earlier?

Those links seem to conflict each other. I take it that the 18,000 is the total for all hunts. The 8308 is the any weapon numbers.
I should draw a tag next year with my points. [-o<

yea i think the 1800 tags are all tags including muzzy tags. but i dont think that includes DH tags so there probably is about 1800 tags rifle hunting in the south.

i've drawn out every year for deer and every year i ask myself why i put in because there's nothing big around here and there's to many dang people that hunt one spot.

I've been hunting Utah since 1980 its a tradition. I just can't seem to draw a tag for something with antlers, going on 4 years now. I have a cow elk tag this year looking forward to it even though I really wanted to hunt something with antlers.

do those numbers include land owner tags??

:-k was talking to my Dad the other day.. and he said a farmer in town just filled out his paperwork for a land owners deer tag last week and got his southern tag... so do they calculate all of the possible landowner tags that might be given out? or do they just give additional tags for the area? or do the take them out of next years tag numbers? (???) so many questions.. so few deer! haha

yak4fish - where in region in Utah do you usually hunt?

When I started we used to hunt outside of Blanding. Then they closed it and it went LE over there. So we moved to Manti area for a few years we got tired of that circus of road hunting.
So we looked at the Utah map and picked the most roadless area that isn't a LE that we could find. We ended up at MT.Dutton if you hike for an hour up hill out there you will be away from most everyone.
