~6k of the damn things here in Oregon, I've only seen three. Year round season, over-the-counter tag. Still their population grows.
Are you allowed to hunt them with dogs in Utah?
Successful hunters here drive or hike in light snow until they cut a trail. We used to be able to use dogs, which were effective.
Yes we are aloud to still use dogs here. I think it's the most effective way to hunt them.
