Hunt Suggestions??

I live in northern Utah.

Last year, my son-in-law and I, and his son, had an absolutely great time hunting pronghorn bucks. Of course, having drawn for last year, we aren't eligible again for a while.

This year we figured that we'd go for pronghorn doe. Normally, those tags aren't abundant, and this year they seem very scarce, and completely unavailable in the area we are familiar with.

As nearly as I can figure out, the Cooperative Wildlife Management Units have plenty of tags, but if you draw, you have to pay $1,800 to hunt on private land. That's out of reach.

So we're looking for a hunt that is cheap, and that is likely to produce some decent meat for the freezer. None of us are fond of deer. I'm looking for suggestions.

Is there a wild pig hunt, that is cheap, with a decent chance of success? Anything else anyone would suggest? For $1,800, I could get an Alaska moose tag, and a plane ticket! Moose are delicious.

The other thing we could do is spike elk. Elk are good to eat.

Still, is there anything I haven't thought of?
