Why so many permits in north utah for mulies?

Why so many permits in north utah for mulies?I saw on the website there was 6,250 first come first serve available on June 11th.Is it because there is a good population,or because no one wants to hunt there?Thanks!

IMO its a combo of struggling deer herds and lack of public property

The Northern Region has probably the most private land and the camping can be very limited.

Do you think if I went into box elder on some BLM land I could get away from the crowds if I walk a mile or so?

I think northern is always the last to sell out. A lot of private land, and very crowded public land. The season is very short for those kind of crowds.
