Mild winter increases deer hunting odds in Utah

Utah’s general archery buck deer hunt, the first major hunt of the year in Utah, starts on Saturday — and because of this year’s weather, the deer should be plentiful and concentrated around water sources.

Deer herds on many units are doing well. Lots of fawns were born in 2011, and most of them survived the mild winter of 2011-2012. Good numbers of young bucks should be available on many of the state’s 30 general-season units.
