Utah hunting all about money?

I could care less about what people do to Mountain Lions. That's all those folks in Salt Lake that want to die on that hill. I've seen California do nothing…like fish and wildlife literally don't remove mountain lions that start to move into private lands and attack lifestock and pets. Then threaten property owners to do nothing as well.

The real disgrace is anyone willing to pay $40k to a "guide" to shoot a deer over corn regardless if it's legal or not. Imo

Imagine being so "lacking in education" that you end up paying a guy what it cost to buy a 2024 Trail blazer or Ford Bronco brand new at the dealer, to illegally hunt on private land in a state that generally has some pretty good opportunity in general…

..,I'm sure the guides had excellent reviews :rolleyes:
It's not so much that they killed a mountain lion. It's that they did it unethically and charged a client for a hunt.
That's not hunting that's just plain killing.
Kinda like the old saying goes it's called hunting not killing.
At least that's what I'm getting out of the statement.
And that's how I was raised up. Theirs a difference between the two.
 
This thread is gonna get ugly quick. ^^You better look at your outfitters^^ as well as your governor. Most of the western states are getting big outstate money from the outfitter lobby to control land and policy. The genie is out of the bottle and the politicians have discovered the monetary and political value of our wildlife. Y'all better savor your hunting time and start saving for tags cause even residents in alot of states have a hard time getting drawn already. And it's only going to get worse.
Your absolutely correct. Just look at the state trying to take control of all Utah lands.
The problem with the federal government controlling the land is they don't what anybody to use it.
The problem with if Utah gets control of the land they just want to sale it to the highest bidder.
It's a lose lose for sportsman.

I have not noticed that the Feds don't want anybody to use the land.
The Forest Service gates a lot of roads in Montana,but that is to prevent road hunting and erosion.
Plus slob hunters and camper leave garbage all over!
 
Sometimes I'm glad I live in a state that has no real trophy hunting available because it's been mismanaged for so long.

Not a lot of folks wanting to come to Mi for anything. But hey we get 2 bucks a year and as many for as we want. Neither buck is big because of that but keeps the out of state guys away.
