While this photo might be appalling to city dwelling urbanites, this is the best method of land conservation available in the West. Hunters buy tags to kill animals which thins herds that would otherwise become over populated. Because tag fees ($1,000 for a bear) go into preserving large tracts of wilderness and protecting populations of animals, lands can be better monitored and protected. Hunting is a way to enjoy the outdoors while also harvesting the abundant game available to Utahns.
