Date: October 20, 2011 To: Wildlife Board and Regional Advisory Council Members From: Anis Aoude, Big Game Coordinator SUBJECT: 2012 BBOIAL Season Dates The attached documents summarize the Division’s recommended changes to the current Big Game Guidebook and Rule.

BBOIAL season dates: See attached tables for details. Big Game Guidebook and Rule change recommendations: Statewide Changes

1. We recommend allowing hunters that draw a youth any bull permit to harvest a bull or an antlerless elk

2. We recommend removing the split from the bull moose hunt making it open continuously without closing during the muzzleloader deer hunt – this would add 9 days to the bull moose hunts

3. We recommend discontinuing the buck bull combo hunt in the northern region. Under Unit by Unit management the region will be divided making difficult to implement this hunt

4. We recommend discontinuing over the counter statewide youth archery permits, since statewide archery will not continue in 2012

Southern Region Changes

1. We recommend adding a limited entry late any-weapon elk hunt on the Paunsaugunt Unit. 2. We recommend adding a nanny goat hunt on the Beaver Unit to help get that goat population to

objective. 3. We recommend minor changes to the Plateau Fish Lake-Thousand Lake elk hunt boundary to fix

a discrepancy with the adjoining units (San Rafael and Henry Mountains). A detailed hunt boundary is attached.

Southeastern Region Changes

1. We recommend changing the Henry Mountain bison hunt boundary to include Big Thompson Mesa, which will allow hunters to harvest bison that use that area. The new boundary also removes Capitol Reef National Park from the hunt boundary. A detailed hunt boundary is attached.

2. We recommend changing the Nine Mile Range Creek Unit to an any-bull elk unit. Previously, this unit was limited entry on public land and any bull on private. This recommendation will simplify the regulations.

3. We recommend changing the dates on the La Sal Dolores Triangle limited entry muzzleloader elk hunt to avoid overlap with the rifle elk hunt.

Northeastern Region Changes

1. We recommend a new bison hunt on the Book Cliffs Unit to deal with tribal bison that migrate onto the unit. The hunt boundary is limited to the northwestern part of the Book Cliffs Unit. A detailed hunt boundary is attached.

2. We recommend changing the Uinta Basin extended archery boundary to reduce conflicts with the Diamond Mountain limited entry deer unit and reduce harvest of mountain deer. A detailed hunt boundary is attached.

3. We recommend changing the youth late elk hunt boundary to expand opportunity for youth and also expand our ability to address bull elk depredation issues. A detailed hunt boundary is attached.

Northern Region Changes

1. We recommend changing the Crawford Mountain portion of the Cache Unit to an any-bull elk unit. This area does not have high quality elk habitat, and as such, the elk end up relying on agricultural fields for forage. This change will help address depredation issues in the Cache Unit.

2. We recommend adding a new any goat hunt on the Willard Peak Unit to help bring the population to objective and reduce hunter crowding.

3. We recommend expanding the extended archery boundary in the Northern Region to the shore of the Great Salt Lake (excluding waterfowl management areas) to help address nuisance and depredation problems in that area.
