Jud that is exactly what Utah is. Everything is a draw. There are no over the counter tags here. Won’t lie, it sucks. I drew a premium deer tag in Idaho in 2016. I doubt I will ever draw the tag again.
I think Arizona and New Mexico is too. Guess we’re lucky here, we can hunt 3 species of deer, 2 species of elk bear and cougar every year, drive a hour south to Oregon and do the same, or 6 hours east to Idaho and same there. Already feeling the squeeze in Idaho, shorter seasons, picking a unit for whitetail, tags selling out in record times, huge influx in applications. Guess I’ll just ride er out, not gonna last too much longer. Hell, 6 years ago the boy and I could drive over to Lewiston on thanksgiving day and buy 2 whitetail tags a piece, sure miss those days, never happen again
