Don't want to start a fight on here but I am curious if anybody knows if they will be doing the control permits for cows on the wasatch again this year? Trying to decide where to put in for antlerless?

Unlimited cow control permits again this year on the Wasatch..:cry::cry:..

Hey maybe I just do not get this, but where does it say "unlimited control tags"?

They field guide -- here: http://wildlife.utah.gov/2015-plan-...hunting/hunting/1618-elk-control-permits.html -- says that you can get a cow tag on a number of units, incl Wasatch, f you obtained a permit (including general season) to harvest a buck, bull or once-in-a-lifetime species on any of the above units (not including CWMUs)... .

That's not "unlimited", but limited to holders of LE bull tags and GE buck tags, or?

I did find it weird that they reduced cow tags by 1,000 on the whole Wasatch unit, but left control tags in areas there were big reductions.

But I too will be buying a control tag, just in case we find one of the last 3 cow elk on CC during the rifle deer hunt.

I will forego the control tag during the general hunt. I don't need the meat this year and personally don't get much satisfaction out of shooting cows. I love hunting them with my kids but they both have other tags this year. Besides, hopefully the one I leave will be opportunity for someone else. I wish I could donate my control tag to someone who didn't get a general deer or LE tag. -----SS
