utah deer management hunts

[skull krazy]

I haven't seen the actual "rules" for the plan yet, are they going to count eye guards as "frame points" when they say no more than 3 points per side Brett?

Man Brett, I never get tired of seeing pics of that big boy! Unfortunately you are right, he does not fall into the "3 point" catergory. And, I am guessing that most folks with one of the LE tags would pass on him because he is not a 4+ point buck either. I guess he is a "tweener".

Myself, I would be ticked to get a HUGE 3 point like that. He is certainly a beast.

To answer your question Brett, the way I understand it is that there cannot be more than 3 points on any one side. Much like our 3 point rule here in WA state. Again, looks like this big boy would be illegal on a management hunt.

[AGCHAWK]

Skull, you posted your question the same time I did.

Again, I am NOT in Utah and am just going by past experience but any three point rule I have ever delt with did indeed count eye guards that were at least an inch long toward the 3 point minimum.

Great minds think alike Hawk!!

If the eye guards (G1's) do NOT count, Brett's buck is a SMOKER buck for this new plan!!

very nice pics brett!!!!

you gonna show him to me when i draw the tag???

9er

imo, this should be a youth hunt, but i might take advantage of it so i can get back in the elk game

Heck, I'd be happy with that beast whether it was a management hunt or an LE hunt! He sure would look awesome on the trophy wall!

Sure 9er, but he heads WAY south during the hunt and the Kanab boys will keep tabs on him.

the way I see/read it you CAN'T take this buck. He has more than 3-points per side/antler.

Eye guards do NOT count. A buck can have 3 points AND eye guards and still be legal.

[skull krazy]

I didn't think so....thanks Pro!!
Brett.......go kill that buck!!!!!!!

[MULEY7MM]

how many points do you have Brett? Didnt you allready draw it once? i say go kill that beast
