No substantial increase in total Limited Entry permits(11 units increased, 2 units stayed the same, and 16 units decreased)

LE Antler Quality Vs. Opportunity

►Some have commented that antler quality on our limited entry units has declined

►In the statewide plan we manage for antler quality on some units (high harvest age objective) and opportunity on some units (low harvest age objective)

►The units managed for opportunity are less likely to produce book heads, but you can still harvest a nice bull on those units

LE Antler Quality Vs. Opportunity

►Even though we have increased opportunity on some units, we are still the leading state for elk that go into the record books. Between 2007-2010 Utah led the west with 29

entries of typical elk into B&C followed by Arizona 23 and Montana 22

In the 2009-2010 reporting period Utah led with 13 entries of typical elk into B&C followed by Montana 9, Arizona 6, Colorado 6 and Wyoming 5
